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

backgroundCytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal metastases from ovarian cancer have been shown to have a role in recurrent ovarian cancer, but are still not considered standard therapy.

methodsFrom March 2005 to July 2013, 41 patients who underwent 44 CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal metastases in recurrent ovarian cancer were included in this study. Details were obtained from a prospectively maintained database. Our aim was to report our 5-year overall and disease-free survivals, as well as prognostic factors for survival.

resultsMedian age was 50 years old (range 23-73). Median duration of surgery was 510 min (range 230-840) and median peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score was 9.5 (range 0-31). About 92.7% of the patients had completeness of cytoreduction (CC) scores of 0 or 1. Median follow-up was 43.9 months (range 0.7-108.9). There were no mortalities and the high-grade morbidity rate was 31.8%. Median overall survival was 42.8 months (range 28.6-99.9) 5-year overall and disease-free survivals were 49.3% and 7.5% respectively. On multivariate analysis, histology and CC score were significantly associated with overall survival while histology and disease-free interval were associated with disease-free survival. The odds of developing a high-grade complication more than doubled for each additional surgical procedure performed (p=0.01).

conclusionsCRS and HIPEC can attain prolonged survival in selected patients with peritoneal metastasis in recurrent ovarian cancer.
