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

backgroundSpontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a life-threatening complication, with a reported mortality rate of between 16 and 30% and an incidence rate of approximately 3% in Europe. Survival data and risk factors after ruptured HCC are lacking, especially for peritoneal metastasis (PM).

objectivesThe aims of this study were to evaluate the pattern of recurrence and mortality after hepatectomy for ruptured HCC, and to focus on PM.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the files of patients admitted to 14 French surgical centers for spontaneous rupture of HCC between May 2000 and May 2012.

resultsOverall, 135 patients were included in this study. The median disease-free survival and overall survival (OS) rates were 16.1 (11.0-21.1) and 28.7 (26.0-31.5) months, respectively, and the median follow-up period was 29 months. At last follow-up, recurrences were observed in 65.1% of patients (n = 88). The overall rate of PM following ruptured HCC was 12% (n = 16). Surgical management of PM was performed for six patients, with a median OS of 36.6 months. An α-fetoprotein level > 30 ng/mL (p = 0.0009), tumor size at rupture > 70 mm (p = 0.0009), and vascular involvement (p < 0.0001) were found to be independently associated with an increased likelihood of recurrence. No risk factor for PM was observed.

conclusionThis large-cohort French study confirmed that 12% of patients had PM after ruptured HCC. A curative approach may be an option for highly selected patients with exclusive PD because of the survival benefit it could provide.
