Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. 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
backgroundPressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) offers a localized palliative treatment option for patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM), often combined with systemic therapy to maximize anti-tumor efficacy. This study on the pharmacokinetics of oxaliplatin-based PIPAC with electrostatic precipitation (ePIPAC-OX) aimed to determine the absolute bioavailability of oxaliplatin in plasma after ePIPAC-OX with reference to systemic therapy and to gain insights for optimizing therapy.
methodsThis analysis included patients of the recently published CRC-PIPAC-II study, who received three cycles of oxaliplatin-based systemic therapy and ePIPAC-OX for unresectable CPM. Whole-blood and plasma ultrafiltrate samples were collected at five to six time points after both intravenous oxaliplatin and ePIPAC-OX. Pharmacokinetics were analyzed using population modeling. Absolute bioavailability was calculated as the fraction of the Area under the Curve (AUC0-∞) of the systemic oxaliplatin exposure after intraperitoneal administration over the AUC after intravenous administration, corrected for the dose.
resultsThe study included 18 patients, mostly treated with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) and bevacizumab (15 patients). The median dose-uncorrected AUC of systemic oxaliplatin and ePIPAC-OX in plasma was 165.2 μg*h/mL and 57.4 μg*h/mL, respectively. The median bioavailability of the total concentration and free fraction of oxaliplatin after ePIPAC-OX were both 48 % (interquartile range [IQR] 42-57 %). Dose reduction due to toxicity was required for eight patients (44 %). All the included patients experienced short-term symptoms of acute sensory neuropathy, with eight cases occurring after ePIPAC-OX.
conclusionThis is the first study to examine the absolute bioavailability of oxaliplatin administered by ePIPAC-OX in humans, using intra-patient data as a control measurement. The systemic bioavailability of oxaliplatin was substantial after ePIPAC-procedures. Therefore, ePIPAC-OX cannot be considered as solely a local treatment. Future research should take this into account for patients treated with both systemic chemotherapy and ePIPAC-OX as bidirectional therapy.
