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

backgroundCytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) for peritoneal malignancies carries considerable morbidity; however, the significance of postoperative small bowel obstruction (SBO) is not well defined. We aim to identify predictors for post-CRS/HIPEC SBO and their oncologic associations.

methodsA retrospective review was conducted of all CRS/HIPEC cases performed at a surgical oncology center (2013-2018). Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, perioperative factors, and province-wide hospital readmissions were analyzed. Descriptive statistics were used for baseline characteristics, multivariate logistic regression for predictors of SBO at 1 year, and Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test for survival analysis.

resultsA total of n = 97 CRS/HIPEC procedures were performed for diagnoses of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (44%), high-grade appendiceal adenocarcinoma (8%), colorectal adenocarcinoma (34%), and mesothelioma (9%). The median peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score was 16. Cumulative incidence of post-CRS/HIPEC SBO readmission was 24% at 1 year and 38% at 2 and 3 years. Of 29 patients readmitted with SBO, 14 (48%) had more than one readmission for SBO, and nine surgeries were performed for obstruction. Multivariate regression identified significant independent predictors of SBO within 1-year post-CRS/HIPEC as high-grade appendiceal or colorectal primaries (odds ratio [OR] 4.58, p = 0.02) and PCI ≥ 20 (OR 3.27, p = 0.05). Overall survival (OS) was worse in patients readmitted with SBO within 1 year compared to those without (3-year OS 58% vs. 75%, p = 0.017).

conclusionSBO is the most common readmission diagnosis post-CRS/HIPEC and is associated with worse survival. High-grade appendiceal and colorectal primary tumors and PCI ≥ 20 are predictors for SBO.
