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

backgroundCytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) has improved outcomes for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). We present our experience from a newly developed peritoneal surface malignancy program.

methodsAn IRB approved retrospective review was performed for the first 50 patients treated with CRS/HIPEC with clinicopathologic data described.

resultsPatients treated with CRS/HIPEC were Caucasian (64%), female (66%) with a median age of 53 years (range, 11-73 years). Primary pathology included: appendix (40%, n=20), ovary (20%, n=10), colon (14%, n=7), desmoplastic small round cell tumor (14%, n=7) or other (12%, n=6). The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score was 15.5 (range, 1-39) and 92% underwent complete cytoreduction (CCR 0/1). Median hospital length of stay was 9.0 days (range, 6-35 days). Eight patients (16%) suffered major morbidity with 2 (4%) 30-day mortalities.

conclusionsShort-term outcomes observed after CRS/HIPEC in a newly developed center for PC are consistent with published higher volume center experiences.
