Influence of the effectiveness of sarcopenia on postoperative major complications after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal surface malignancy: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
background and purposeSarcopenia has recently been gaining importance due to its role on mortality and mobility in diseases and operations. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of sarcopenia on major postoperative complications in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal surface malignancy.
methodsIn this longitudinal cohort study included 202 patients treated between January 2018 and September 2023, with 52 undergoing prophylactic procedures. Peritoneal metastases originated from colorectal, gastric, and ovarian cancer; peritoneal mesothelioma; mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix; and endometrial cancer. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), length of hospital stay (LOS), peritoneal cancer index (PCI), competency of cytoreduction (CC), operation time, and primary peritoneal carcinomatosis were recorded. All variables were analyzed according to the presence of major complications and sarcopenia.
resultsSignificant associations were found between major complications and sarcopenia (p = 0.002), PCI (p = 0.036), operation time (p = 0.015), and LOS (p < 0.001). In sarcopenic patients, significant associations were found with sex (p = 0.035), age (p = 0.025), and BMI (p = 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified sarcopenia as an independent risk factor for major complications, tripling the likelihood (p = 0.005). Additionally, PCI score (p = 0.008) and LOS (p < 0.001) were independent risk factors.
conclusionThis study underscores sarcopenia as an independent risk factor for major complications in CRS/HIPEC patients, with PCI and LOS as additional risk factors. In sarcopenic patients, pre-operative evaluation should be done carefully and post-operative risks should be kept in mind.
