Review in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Peritoneal surface disease (PSD) has historically been used interchangeably with the term peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) and has a dismal natural history. A variety of malignant pathologies, including colorectal and appendiceal primary tumors, can disseminate throughout the peritoneal cavity, leading to bowel obstruction and death. In general, peritoneal spread from high-grade appendiceal and colorectal primaries has the potential of hepatic and distant spread and best classified as PC. Low-grade appendiceal tumors are better categorized as PSD, due to low cellularity, high mucin production, and lack of potential spread outside the peritoneal cavity. Growing international experience with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) over the past 30 years has presented a therapeutic option to patients with PSD from colorectal and appendiceal tumors that can provide significant disease control, as well as potential for previously unattainable long-term survival. The proliferation of HIPEC centers and ongoing prospective trials are helping to standardize HIPEC techniques and patient selection.
