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

backgroundStudies on the application of recombinant human endostatin (RH-endostatin) intraperitoneal perfusion in gastric cancer (GC) with malignant ascites are limited.

aimTo explore the effectiveness, prognosis, and safety of intraperitoneal RH-endostatin perfusion in treating patients with GC and malignant ascites.

methodsPatients with GC and malignant ascites were divided into the cisplatin intraperitoneal perfusion (control group) group and the cisplatin combined with RH-endostatin intraperitoneal perfusion group (RH-endostatin group). Efficient ascites control, overall survival (OS), quality of life, and adverse events were observed, and possible influencing factors on prognosis outcomes analyzed.

resultsWe identified no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the control and RH-endostatin groups. The latter group had higher ascites control rates than the control group. Treatment methods were identified as an independent OS factor. Clinically, RH-endostatin-treated patients had significantly improved OS rates when compared with control patients, particularly in those with small and moderate ascites volumes. Quality of life improvements in control patients were significantly lower when compared with RH-endostatin patients. Adverse events were balanced between the groups.

conclusionOverall, intraperitoneal RH-endostatin improved treatment efficacy and prolonged prognosis in patients with GC and malignant ascites. This approach may benefit further clinical applications for treating GC.
