When is it safe to omit surgery in primary peritoneal cancer with small volume disease?
Review in Current oncology reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Primary peritoneal cancer (PPC) is considered a very rare condition, with mesotheliomas deemed the only true PPC when considering the cellular content and embryological derivation of the peritoneum. However, in women, PPC are seen in much greater abundance than that in men and the type of cancer detected is often that of a serous epithelial carcinoma, histologically similar to serous ovarian carcinomas. The management is also similar, i.e. surgery and platin-based chemotherapy. The definition clinically of PPC is that of widespread carcinomatosis with normal-sized ovaries. The carcinomatosis is often extensive, and the only bulk disease may be within the omentum and achieving complete clearance of all disease at primary surgery unlikely. Thus, the concept of using chemotherapy as the main strategy is a reasonable approach and may well be the best single therapeutic option in some patients. This paper reviews the data on PPC and how this approach could be assessed.
