Efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with prophylactic intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy for patients diagnosed with clinical T4 gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy: a retrospective cohort study based on propensity score matching.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2024. 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 7 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
backgroundClinical T4 (cT4) stage gastric cancer presents with frequent postoperative recurrence and poor prognosis. This study is to evaluate the oncological efficacy of laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy combined with postoperative prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with cT4N + M0 gastric cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
methodsWe reviewed the clinicopathological data of 174 patients with clinical T4 gastric cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy between June 2017 and December 2021. Among them, 142 were included in the non-HIPEC group, and 32 in the HIPEC group. Patients in both groups were paired based on propensity score in a 2:1 ratio to assess disparities in tumor recurrence and long-term survival.
resultsAfter matching, there were no significant differences in the clinicopathological data between the two groups. The peritoneum (16.1%) and distant organs (10.9%) were the most frequent locations for recurrence. Prior to matching, the recurrence rates were similar at all sites for both groups. Compared with those in the non-HIPEC cohort, the recurrence rates at all sites, the lung, and the peritoneum were notably lower in the HIPEC cohort. Prior to matching, the 3-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were similar between the two groups; following matching, the HIPEC group exhibited notably greater survival rates than did the non-HIPEC group. The disparities in survival rates between the groups became even more pronounced after conducting a stratified analysis among patients with stage III disease.
conclusionsNeoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with prophylactic HIPEC after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy can effectively reduce the rate of peritoneal metastasis in patients with cT4N + M0 advanced gastric cancer and significantly improve the prognosis of such patients, which is of great clinical value.
