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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesTreatment for malignant ascites in advanced ovarian cancer (OC) patients remains controversial. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of combined continuous circulatory hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) preceded or followed by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for malignant ascites in OC patients.

methodsFemale OC patients (n = 32) with malignant ascites were divided based on stable (n = 17) or unstable (n = 15) vital signs. Stable patients were treated with CRS immediately followed by HIPEC (CRS + HIPEC). Unstable patients were treated using B-mode ultrasound-guided HIPEC followed by delayed CRS upon vital sign stability (HIPEC + dCRS). All patients were followed up until death or until December 2012.

resultsMedian follow-up was 29 months. All patients showed ascite regression [objective remission rates (ORR) = 100 %]. Among stable patients, CRS + HIPEC was successful in 14/17 (83.4 %). Among unstable patients, HIPEC + dCRS was successful in 13/15 (86.7 %). Median survival times were 19 and 17 months in the stable and unstable groups, respectively. No significant differences in CRS rates, ascites ORR, Karnofsky performance status scores, or survival rates were observed between groups (P > 0.05).

conclusionCytoreductive surgery with immediate HIPEC and HIPEC with dCRS, determined by vital sign stability, may lead to similar outcomes in OC patients with malignant ascites.
