Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Following Cytoreductive Surgery Improves Outcome in Patients With Primary Appendiceal Mucinous Adenocarcinoma: A Pooled Analysis From Three Tertiary Care Centers.

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
purposeAppendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMN) are a rare heterogeneous group of diseases. In the absence of randomized trials, AMN management is controversial. The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after cytoreductive surgery on survival in AMN patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatient data including demographics, pathology, type of therapy, and outcomes were collected from Emory University, the Ohio State University, and Wayne State University databases. One of the three centers did not use HIPEC. Statistical analysis evaluating overall survival (OS) of AMN patients was performed.
resultsBetween 1990 and 2010, 163 AMN patients were identified. Histology showed 60 patients had diffuse peritoneal adenomucinosis, 88 had peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA), and 15 had PMCA with indeterminate or discordant features. Complete surgical resection was achieved in 76 patients. HIPEC was used in 79 patients. The median OS was 77 months for patients who received HIPEC compared with 25 months for patients who did not (p < .001). In multivariable analysis, histopathologic subtype (p < .001), complete surgical resection (p < .001), and HIPEC (p < .001) were independent predictors for improved OS. A survival advantage for AMN patients treated at HIPEC-treating centers was observed (p = .0026). After adjusting for HIPEC therapy, no significant survival difference was observed between the non-HIPEC-treating center and the HIPEC-treating centers (p = .094).
conclusionThe addition of HIPEC to cytoreductive surgery likely provides a survival advantage and should be considered in the treatment strategy for AMN.
