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

introductionOver the past two decades, cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC has improved outcomes for selected patients with peritoneal metastasis from various origins. This is a cross-sectional study with descriptive analyses of HIPEC trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. This study aimed to characterize clinical trials on HIPEC registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with the primary objective of identifying a trial focus and to examine whether trial results were published.

methodsThe search included trials registered from 1 January 2001 to 14 March 2022. We examined the associations of exposure variables and other trial features with two primary outcomes: therapeutic focus and results reporting.

resultsIn total, 234 clinical trials were identified; 26 (11%) were already published, and 15 (6%) trials have reported their results but have not been published as full papers. Among ongoing nonpublished trials, 81 (39%) were randomized, 30 (14%) were blinded,

conclusionsMany study results are awaited from ongoing HIPEC trials. Most HIPEC trials focused on gastric, colorectal, or ovarian cancer. Many clinical trials were identified involving multiple entities and chemotherapeutic agents.
