Unraveling Peritoneal Mesothelioma: A Case-Based Discussion on Diagnosis and Management.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive tumor, and its management remains poorly standardized in the literature. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges through a 56-year-old woman with no significant medical history or known asbestos exposure, who presented with progressive abdominal distension and postprandial vomiting. Imaging revealed diffuse nodular peritoneal thickening and large-volume ascites. A laparoscopic biopsy confirmed malignant epithelioid mesothelioma, supported by immunohistochemical positivity for cytokeratin 7 (CK7), calretinin, and Wilms tumor 1 (WT1). Treatment was based on systemic chemotherapy with platinum (cisplatin/carboplatin) and pemetrexed, which elicited a rapid initial response. However, the long-term efficacy remains uncertain due to the aggressive nature of the disease. The absence of standardized treatment underscores the necessity for multidisciplinary management.
