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

backgroundIn recent decades, a combination of cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy has yielded improvements in the survival of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy comprise a challenging and rarely reported surgical procedure.

methodsBetween November 2004 and February 2010, 29 patients underwent cytoreductive surgery and early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis secondary to colorectal cancer. Of the 29 patients, 15 underwent laparoscopic surgery and 14 underwent open surgery.

resultsThe patient characteristics did not differ significantly between the two groups. Synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis with a primary tumor was more common in the laparoscopic group, and the Gilly stage of peritoneal carcinomatosis was found more frequently in the open group. Complication rate and hospital stay were less in the laparoscopic group. However, the outcomes for the patients undergoing the combined treatment were similar between the two groups with respect to completeness of cytoreduction, operation morbidity, and overall survival. The laparoscopic group had a cytoreduction completeness of 86.7 % and an operative morbidity of 13.3 %. Operative mortality occurred for one patient after open surgery.

conclusionsLaparoscopic cytoreductive surgery and early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy can be performed safely for selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer to a limited extent. Further studies with longer follow-up periods and larger numbers of patients are warranted to confirm the study findings.
