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

Peritoneal metastasis, also known as peritoneal dissemination or carcinomatosis, refers to the spread of cancer to the peritoneum that lines the abdominal and pelvic cavities and covers the abdominal organs. Peritoneal metastasis typically occurs in advanced cancers of abdominal origin, most commonly gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers. Conventional chemotherapy has limited efficacy, and no effective molecular-targeted therapy is currently available for peritoneal metastasis. As a result, peritoneal metastasis is associated with poor outcomes and significantly reduced quality of life in patients with advanced cancers. This is largely due to a limited understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying peritoneal metastasis. However, recent studies employing innovative approaches have provided novel insights into the mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis, contributing to the development of novel therapeutic strategies. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the cell biological aspects of peritoneal metastasis and potential therapeutic target molecules. In particular, we emphasize the importance of cancer cell clustering within the abdominal cavity, which drives multiclonal peritoneal seeding. We also focus on the interactions of cancer cells with mesothelial cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts within the peritoneal tumor microenvironment.
