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

backgroundPatients with positive peritoneal cytology (CY1) or peritoneal dissemination (P1) have significantly poor prognosis. We performed pre-therapeutic staging laparoscopy (SL) to diagnose peritoneal metastasis for patients with advanced gastric cancer. When peritoneal metastasis disappears by chemotherapy for patients with CY1 or P1, we have intention to perform conversion surgery (CS). This study aims to clarify the clinical significance of CS for such patients.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical outcomes of 115 patients with advanced gastric cancer (large type 3, type 4, serosa-invasion) who underwent SL between 2005 and 2014. Disappearance of peritoneal metastasis was confirmed by second-look SL.

resultsCY0P0, CY1P0, and P1 were found in 56, 26, and 33 patients, respectively. In patients with CY1P0, 12 patients (66.7%) underwent CS (R0) as peritoneal cytology turned negative. All cases received S-1-based regimens, with median five treatment courses. The survival of patients with CS was significantly longer than those without CS (median survival time (MST); 41 vs. 11 months, respectively, P < 0.001). We observed no difference in overall survival between patients who underwent CS and patients with CY0P0 at the first SL (P = 0.913). All patients with P1 received chemotherapy. As peritoneal metastasis of five patients (15.2%) disappeared by chemotherapy, those patients underwent the CS (R0). The survival of patients who underwent CS was significantly longer than those who did not (MST; 31 vs. 10 months, respectively, P = 0.034).

conclusionThis study suggests that conversion surgery contributes to improvement in survival of patients with peritoneal metastasis.
