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

backgroundThe number of cases of cervical cancer with recurrence and peritoneal carcinomatosis is limited. In our study, we aimed to present the results of cytoreductive surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment and its 3-year early period results in patients with peritoneal metastases due to cervical cancer.

methodsData of 306 patients who had undergone cytoreductive surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy between May 2016 and 2021 because of intra-abdominal metastases were collected prospectively and evaluated retrospectively. Ten cases who had undergone cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy due to cervical peritoneal carcinomatosis were included in this study.

resultsAverage time of operation was 5 (range = 3-6) hours, mean average of peritoneal carcinomatosis index score was 12.3 (range = 7-36), and mean average of completeness of cytoreduction score was 1 in 2 patients and 0 in 8 patients. No mortality was recorded in 30 days postoperatively. Four patients relapsed and died because of pneumonia, coronavirus disease, pulmonary embolism, and terminal illness. These patients died at 2, 5, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Six patients are still alive and early period tumor relapse has not been reported during their follow-ups.

conclusionsThis study has a limited number of patients and the results are early period results. The follow-up of patients were not long term. Therefore, it is hard to say that cytoreductive surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy could be of any benefit looking at the results. Long-term results should be waited. Also, multicentered randomized cohort study with large sample size is required to evaluate this invasive procedure.
