Microscopic peritoneal carcinomatosis in gastric cancer: Prevalence, prognosis and predictive factors.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is typically identified in advanced stage gastric cancer and is frequently considered to be an incurable disease. Along with macroscopic PC, microscopic PC may be diagnosed through pathological examination of tissue specimens and is not detectable during surgical intervention. The present study aimed to analyse the prevalence, prognostic value and predictive factors for microscopic PC. In the present retrospective study, data from patients with epithelial gastric cancer that were treated with curative intent surgery were examined. Patients with macroscopic PC were excluded. Additionally, the study population was divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of microscopic PC. The prevalence of microscopic PC was 5.5%. Microscopic PC exhibited a significant negative effect on overall survival. In addition, multivariate analyses revealed that the significant predictive factors for the presence of microscopic PC were adenocarcinoma of a diffuse type, lymphatic and vascular invasion, cancer location at the site of previous gastric surgery and a tumour extent >T2. In particular, the presence of lymphatic and vascular invasion was the most significant predictive factor. These results indicate that ≥5.5% of patients with gastric cancer who undergo surgery with a curative intent may benefit from more aggressive loco-regional treatment against microscopic PC at the time of surgery.
