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

objectiveClinical efficacy of B-ultrasound-guided and laparoscopy-assisted continuous hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy (CHIPC) for treatment of malignant ascites was investigated.

methodsSixty-two patients with malignant ascites induced by ovarian or gastrointestinal cancers were randomly treated with B-ultrasound-guided CHIPC (therapeutic group) or laparoscopy-assisted CHIPC (control group) performed at the same center. Hospitalization costs and surgical duration were evaluated. Follow-up was conducted for 21 months with B-ultrasound or computed tomography at least once per month for assessment of ascites amount and tumor progression. Clinical efficacy was assessed by modified World Health Organization criteria. Survival time, Karnofsky performance score (KPS) of quality of life (QOL), and complications were recorded for all patients.

resultsOverall condition, primary disease type, and ascites amounts were comparable between groups. Significantly shorter mean duration of perfusion catheter placement (35 vs. 85 min) and mean hospitalization cost (36,000 vs. 55,000 ¥/patient) were observed in the therapeutic group than the control group (P < 0.01). Significantly different KPS scores were not observed before or after CHIPC (23.13 vs. 22.64 %) in both groups (P > 0.05). No significant differences in objective remission rates of malignant ascites (93.75 vs. 93.34 %), median survival times (9 vs. 8 months), or stamp hole metastasis rates (18.75 vs. 18.15 %) were observed between groups (P > 0.05).

conclusionsB-ultrasound-guided and laparoscopy-assisted CHIPC have similar clinical efficacy for improving QOL and prolonging patient survival. B-ultrasound-guided CHIPC may, however, shorten operation times and reduce hospitalization costs, making the treatment available to a broader patient population, although port hole metastasis remains an issue.
