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

backgroundPressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a drug delivery system for treatment of peritoneal metastasis (PM). A limitation of this technique is the non-access rate (10-15 %) due to peritoneal adhesions. The aim of the study was to assess feasibility and safety of the single-port access technique for PIPAC.

methodsSingle-center, pilot study. Case series, retrospective analysis on 17 patients with PM of various origin treated with intraperitoneal cisplatin, doxorubicin and/or oxaliplatin administered as PIPAC. Single-port access was attempted in all patients by minilaparotomy.

resultsTwenty-nine PIPAC procedures were performed. Nine patients were subjected to 1 PIPAC, four patients to 2 PIPAC and four patients to 3 PIPAC. Access to peritoneal cavity was possible in all cases. There was no bowel access lesion. Tightness of the abdomen (CO

conclusionsSingle port-access is feasible and safe for PIPAC. Potential advantages over multiple trocars technique are a lower non-access rate, a lower risk of bowel lesions and a better tightness of the abdomen. This has now to be confirmed in a comparative study.
