Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy-Induced Molecular Changes in Humans Validate Preclinical Data in Ovarian Cancer.
Trial report in JCO precision oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
purposeHyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) confers a survival benefit in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and in preclinical models. However, the molecular changes induced by HIPEC have not been corroborated in humans. PATIENTS AND
methodsA feasibility trial evaluated clinical and safety outcomes of HIPEC with cisplatin during optimal cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in patients with EOC diagnosed with stage III, IV, or recurrent EOC. Pre- and post-HIPEC biopsies were comprehensively profiled with genomic and transcriptomic sequencing to identify mutational and RNAseq signatures correlating with response; the tumor microenvironment was profiled to identify potential immune biomarkers; and transcriptional signatures of tumors and normal samples before and after HIPEC were compared to investigate HIPEC-induced acute transcriptional changes.
resultsThirty-five patients had HIPEC at the time of optimal CRS; all patients had optimal CRS. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 24.7 months for primary patients and 22.4 for recurrent patients. There were no grade 4 or 5 adverse events. Anemia was the most common grade 3 adverse event (43%). Hierarchical cluster analyses identified distinct transcriptomic signatures of good versus poor responders to HIPEC correlating with a PFS of 29.9 versus 7.3 months, respectively. Among good responders, significant HIPEC-induced molecular changes included immune pathway upregulation and DNA repair pathway downregulation. Within cancer islands, % programmed cell death protein 1 expression in CD8+ T cells significantly increased after HIPEC. An exceptional responder (PFS 58 months) demonstrated the highest programmed cell death protein 1 increase. Heat shock proteins comprised the top differentially upregulated genes in HIPEC-treated tumors.
conclusionDistinct transcriptomic signatures identify responders to HIPEC, and preclinical model findings are confirmed for the first time in a human cohort.
