Advancements in nebulizers for pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC).
Review in Pleura and peritoneum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is an innovative intraperitoneal drug delivery technique utilizing a nebulizer to aerosolize liquid chemotherapy agents under pressure, distributing them evenly throughout the peritoneal cavity to achieve therapeutic effects. As increasing clinical evidence supports the safety and efficacy of PIPAC as a promising treatment for peritoneal metastasis, optimizing nebulizer technology to enhance treatment outcomes has garnered significant research interest. Content: Following initial investigations into the internal structure, mechanical properties, and optimization parameters of the original PIPAC nebulizer, researchers worldwide have focused on refining nebulizer design and exploring innovative applications of aerosolization devices, resulting in the development of several clinically applicable nebulizers with distinct characteristics. Summary: This review aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the global advancements in PIPAC nebulizer development, the nebulizer alternative devices, evaluation parameters and methods, as well as future research directions, aiming to inform the development, optimization, and application of novel nebulizers for PIPAC, thereby contributing to the advancement of this promising therapeutic approach. Outlook: Current methods for evaluating nebulizer performance are continually being refined, and the integration of nebulizers with other physical modalities holds great promise for further improving PIPAC outcomes.
