Clinical effects of high frequency hyperthermia-assisted irinotecan chemotherapy on patients with middle and advanced colorectal cancer and its safety assessment.
Article in Oncology letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Clinical effects of high frequency hyperthermia-assisted irinotecan chemotherapy on patients with middle and advanced colorectal cancer and its safety assessment were investigated. A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of 103 patients with middle and advanced colorectal cancer treated in Cancer Center of Guangzhou Medical University from May 2011 to June 2015, including 48 patients receiving irinotecan plus conventional treatment (irinotecan group) and 55 patients receiving high frequency hyperthermia-assisted irinotecan plus conventional treatment (combination group). The treatment effects, severity and incidence of adverse reactions, quality of life and 3-year survival rates of patients were analyzed and compared between the two groups. After 4 courses of treatment, there were statistically significant differences in the proportions of patients with partial remission and objective remission, with those in combination group higher than those in irinotecan group (both P<0.05). After 4 courses of treatment, no patient died. After 4 courses of treatment, those that increased in different degrees (all P<0.05), compared with those in combination group were significantly higher than those in irinotecan group (all P<0.05). The 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates of patients in irinotecan group were 31.25% (15 cases), 22.92% (11 cases) and 12.50% (6 cases), respectively. Those in combination group were 58.18% (32 cases), 29.09% (16 cases) and 16.36% (9 cases), respectively. The results of K-M survival curve analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in survival rate between the two groups of patients (P=0.050). High frequency hyperthermia-assisted chemotherapy for patients with middle and advanced colorectal cancer can effectively improve its treatment effects and patients' quality of life, with better treatment safety, worthy of clinical promotion.
