1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Until recently peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) arising from colorectal cancer (CRC) was considered to be a terminal disease manifestation. Despite palliative systemic chemotherapy (CHT) the majority of patients died within a few months. Nowadays cytoreductive surgery (CRS) of the peritoneal cavity in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal CHT and perioperative systemic CHT may offer a chance for long-term survival in selected groups of patients. In this study we report the results obtained with this treatment strategy in 30 consecutive patients. Data were assessed prospectively. After a median follow-up of 16.9 months the median survival time in all 30 patients reached 24.3 months. Favorable prognostic factors are a low extent of intraperitoneal metastases as characterized by a low peritoneal cancer index (median survival PCI ≤ 10: 33.2 months vs. PCI 11-19: 12.1 months) and a complete or nearly complete CRS (median survival CCR 0/1: 33.1 months vs. CCR2/3: 12.1 months). The 2-year overall survival was 89% for patients with a PCI ≤ 10 and 65% for those with surgical CCR 0/1 cytoreduction. As not every patient with CRC and PC may profit from this relatively aggressive therapy an interdisciplinary patient selection (tumor board) and treatment in experienced surgical oncology centers is recommended.
