Overall survival post secondary cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for recurrent colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundColorectal cancer is the third-most common malignancy worldwide. It has the potential to develop peritoneal metastases (CRPM), which can be treated using cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). There is limited literature on outcomes of secondary CRS/HIPEC for CRPM recurrence.
methodsAll patients with CRPM who had secondary CRS/HIPEC between 2000 and 2023 were included. Clinical information regarding histological grade, peritoneal cancer index (PCI), completion of cytoreduction (CC), other metastases and their treatments, morbidity grade and demographics including sex, age and death were collected. The outcome of interest was peri-operative morbidity measured using Clavien-Dindo classification comparing with index CRS/HIPEC and survivals (disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS)). Secondary analyses were conducted to compare concurrent treatments and variables correlated with survivals.
resultsOut of 435 patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC for colorectal cancer, 65 underwent secondary CRS/HIPEC. The median PCI score at secondary CRS/HIPEC was 6 (range 0-18) compared to 8 at index CRS/HIPEC (p < 0.01), and the median CC score at secondary CRS/HIPEC was 0 (n = 59, 91%) compared to 0 (n = 65, 100%) at index CRS/HIPEC (mean 0.0 v 0.12, p = 0.02). HIPEC was given in 59/65 patients (90%). Ten patients (15%) had radio- or microwave ablation to lung/liver metastases. Significant Clavien-Dindo morbidity (≥ 3) was similar between index and secondary operation with 13 (23%) of patients and 12 (19%) respectively. Median length of stay was 17 days. Median DFS after secondary CRS/HIPEC was 10.7 months, with an OS of 31.1 months. From index CRS/HIPEC, OS was 65.2 months. There was no difference by histological grade and no difference in DFS or OS in those who had had ablation. PCI at secondary operation was negatively associated with OS (r=-0.32, p = 0.009).
conclusionSecondary CRS/HIPEC for patients with CRC recurrence has comparable perioperative morbidity and mortality to index CRS/HIPEC, with significant disease-free and overall survival. Ablation of oligometastatic or extra-abdominal disease allows for comparable survival post-secondary CRS/HIPEC. Secondary CRS/HIPEC should be considered in selected patients.
