Can pressurised intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy with oxaliplatin (PIPAC-O+) be added to standard treatment for resectable high-risk gastric cancer patients? A study protocol.
Article in Pleura and peritoneum, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesGastric cancer remains one of the most fatal cancers, despite an intensive treatment regime of chemotherapy-surgery-chemotherapy. Peritoneal metastatic disease is commonly diagnosed post treatment regime and once established, patients are likely to die in 3-9 months. Systemic chemotherapy does not increase survival for these patients due to the poor vascularisation of this area. We are proposing the addition of pressurised intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) to the treatment regime for curative patients as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of peritoneal metastases occurring.
methodsThis is a prospective, single centre, non-randomised, open-label pilot trial evaluating the addition of PIPAC to the standard multimodal treatment pathway. Patients will undergo standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy with four cycles of fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and docetaxel (FLOT), then PIPAC, followed by gastrectomy. Four cycles of FLOT will be administered post-surgery. Primary outcome is safety and feasibility, assessed by perioperative morbidity and possible interruptions of the standard multimodal treatment pathway.
