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

Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) in female patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) of an appendiceal origin as well as to identify the prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS) to reduce adverse physical or psychological effects on women. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted to evaluate the prognostic factors in female patients with PMP of an appendiceal origin who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) including BSO at our hospital between January 2011 and December 2020. Patients were also divided into high and low grade group according to pathology subtype. The data were analyzed by using Chi-square, univariate and multivariate cox regression methods, and survival was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: We included 178 patients with PMP of an appendiceal origin who underwent BSO, and 134 (75.3%) had histopathological confirmed ovarian metastases. In the low-grade group, ovarian involvement and completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) acted as independent predictors of poor prognosis for OS. In normal appearing uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, pathologic disease was still found in 15.4%, 7.8%, and 22.8% respectively. In abnormal appearing uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, pathologic disease was found in 95.5%, 96.6%, and 94.2% respectively. Moreover, multivariate analysis revealed that a high-grade histopathological subtype of PMP and CCR 2/3 were independent predictors of OS. Conclusion: Based on these data, strong consideration should be given to removal of gynecologic organs in cases of appendiceal peritoneal disease even when normal in appearance, after taking into account each individual patient's fertility concerns.
