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

Gallbladder cancer is a devastating disease with a 5-year survival of only 18%. The majority of gallbladder cancers are discovered incidentally in patients undergoing cholecystectomy. During non-oncologic laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder disease, gallbladder perforation occurs in 29% of cases and spillage of gallstones occurs in 9% of cases. Patients with gallbladder cancer frequently develop peritoneal recurrence, particularly after intra-operative bile spillage during cholecystectomy for incidental gallbladder cancer. The high likelihood of spillage and peritoneal seeding during cholecystectomy for incidental gallbladder cancer suggests the need for prophylactic strategies to prevent peritoneal carcinomatosis. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has efficacy in gallbladder cancer patients with macroscopic peritoneal disease undergoing cytoreductive surgery and has been associated with a survival advantage in a multi-institutional retrospective case series. However, the utilization of HIPEC with a prophylactic intent against the development of peritoneal disease following resection of gallbladder cancer has not yet been prospectively studied. Here, we review the literature surrounding gallbladder cancer and HIPEC, report an institutional experience utilizing prophylactic HIPEC, and discuss a recently proposed prospective clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of prophylactic HIPEC in the prevention of gallbladder peritoneal metastasis.
