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

backgroundHyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal metastases (PM) is considered to be feasible, safe and to improve survival.

aimTo investigate whether an immune response is activated following HIPEC for PM.

methodsSix patients were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from each patient prior to (day 0) and post-procedure (day 30), and used to evaluate the number of CD3

resultsThe total numbers of CD3

conclusionThis report provides the first evidence that HIPEC exhibits immunomodulating activity in PM patients, resulting in generalized activation of the adaptive immune response. Moreover, the majority of lymphocyte populations increased following HIPEC and continued to be elevated several weeks following the procedure, consistent with a potential authentic immunomodulating effect rather than a normal inflammatory response, to be fully characterised in future studies.
