Reclassification of Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasms and Associated Pseudomyxoma Peritonei According to the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International Consensus: Clinicopathological Reflections of a Two-Center Cohort Study.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundInternational consensus on classifications of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) and associated pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) have been carefully made but clinicopathological associations supporting decision making remain scarce.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess interdependence between AMNs and PMP and provide directions for clinical management.
methodsThis two-center retrospective cohort study reviewed patients with PMP treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy between 2005 and 2021. The primary objective was to reassess histopathologic grade of AMNs and PMP according to the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International classification and to establish its interdependence. Secondary outcomes were recurrence rate, PMP grade progression, ovarian involvement, and overall survival (OS).
resultsOf 105 patients included, 78 (74.3%) had low-grade AMNs as the primary tumor, 8 (7.6%) had high-grade AMNs, 7 (6.7%) had mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC), 1 (0.9%) had MAC with signet ring cells (SRC), and 11 (10.5%) had unidentified tumors. Overall, 11 patients (10.5%) had no PMP, 21 (20.0%) had acellular mucin, 56 (53.3%) had low-grade PMP, 12 (11.4%) had high-grade PMP, and 5 (4.8%) had PMP-SRC. In 11 cases (13.3%), AMNs and matching PMP grade differed. Over a 16-year follow-up, recurrence occurred in 31.8%, with three cases showing histopathologically changed PMP. Ovarian involvement was observed in 43/65 females (66.2%). Median OS was 13.8 years, and 5-year OS rates were 100%, 74.4%, 44.4%, and 20% for acellular mucin, low-grade PMP, high-grade PMP and PMP-SRC, respectively (p < 0.001).
conclusionsAMN histology does not always reflects its associated PMP grade, while PMP grade strongly influences survival. Ovarian involvement and recurrent PMP showing unchanged histopathological features are common.
