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
aim of the studyTo investigate the impact of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) on the clinical and oncological outcomes and quality of life (QOL) of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study involved 304 patients with PC of different origin, who were divided into 2 groups: Group I - cytoreductive surgery (CRS) + adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) - 247 patients; Group II - CRS + HIPEC + ACT - 57 patients. Intraoperative characteristics and postoperative complications were compared. Patients' QOL was assessed at all phases of treatment using the international scales the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire for Breast Cancer Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30).
resultsNo statistically significant differences were observed between the 2 groups comparing the average blood loss and the total rate of postoperative complications, although the rates of hyperthermia and acute renal failure in the early postoperative period were higher in the HIPEC group. The use of HIPEC significantly contributed to the worse restoration of intestinal function in the postoperative period and to prolonged hospital stay. Assessment of the QOL of patients in Group II using SF-36 showed no significant difference between the physical and psychological components of health compared with the control group. The analysis of EORTC data showed a significant deterioration in the QOL of patients in Group II due to increased scales of pain, nausea and vomiting, and constipation in the early postoperative period. No difference in QOL was observed in the subsequent phases of treatment and after its completion. Overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with ovarian cancer who underwent HIPEC were significantly better compared with CRS + ACT alone.
conclusionsThe proposed HIPEC technique has demonstrated its clinical safety in the treatment of PC, no long-term negative impact on the QOL of patients, and better oncological results for ovarian cancer.
