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) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a procedure that has had encouraging results for peritoneal metastases (PM) from diverse tumour origins, but it is not exempt from high morbidity. Recently, the important role of laparoscopy in oncologic surgeries and its benefits have been evaluated for CRS + HIPEC in selected patients, which has yielded promising results. The aim of our study is to analyse the use of laparoscopy for CRS + HIPEC in patients with limited peritoneal disease.

methodsWe have conducted a retrospective study from a prospective database in our tertiary referral hospital within the period of January 2009 to July 2019, which includes 825 patients who had PM from varying tumour origins. We have compared the patients treated with the laparoscopic approach (L-CRS-HIPEC) to a matched population who have undergone the open approach (O-CRS-HIPEC) and fulfil the same selection criteria. We have analysed the postoperative outcomes and survival results.

resultsWe have confirmed the homogeneity between the sample of the O-CRS + HIPEC (n = 42) and the L-CRS + HIPEC (n = 18) regarding preoperative and intraoperative features. The L-CRS + HIPEC group had shorter hospital stays, (median of 4 [2-10] days versus 9 [2-19] days) and reduced wait time to return to chemotherapy (median of 4 [3-7] weeks and a median of 8 [4-36] weeks) than the O-CRS + HIPEC group. No differences were found regarding the need for perioperative blood transfusion, surgery time or postoperative morbi-mortality. No early locoregional relapse occurred in the L-CRS + HIPEC group and short term disease-free survival did not differ between groups.

conclusionsLaparoscopy for CRS + HIPEC is feasible and safe in highly selected patients, with no significant differences concerning postoperative morbi-mortality or early oncological results. We have found that patients who have undergone laparoscopic operations have shorter hospital stays and that they return to adjuvant chemotherapy sooner. Further investigation is required to confirm the benefits of minimally invasive procedures for the management of PM.
