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

purposeThis study aimed to examine the outcomes of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM) of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). MATERIALS AND

methodsBetween May 2015 and June 2017, 38 CRS and HIPEC procedures were performed in patients with PM of AGC at the Dankook University Hospital. We prospectively collected and analyzed data regarding PM grade, morbidity and mortality rates, and short-term follow-up results (median, 13.5 months).

resultsThe mean peritoneal cancer index was 15 (range, 0-39). Complete cytoreduction was achieved in 21 patients (55.2%), whereas complications occurred in 16 (42.1%) and 2 (5.7%) patients died. The overall median patient survival time was 19 months. The patients who underwent complete cytoreduction had a median survival time of 26 months, which was significantly longer than the median survival time of 16 months in the patients who did not undergo complete cytoreduction (P=0.006).

conclusionsCRS with HIPEC may have a beneficial effect in patients with PM of AGC. However, the rates of complications and mortality associated with this combined therapeutic approach are high. Therefore, this treatment should be performed only in selected patients by surgeons experienced in the field of gastric cancer with PM.
