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
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed/platinum-based chemotherapy combined with or without bevacizumab after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM). Methods: A retrospective non-randomized study was performed on 205 MPM patients treated with CRS+HIPEC at our institution. A total of 97 eligible patients were analyzed: 58 patients who received postoperative chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab (C&B) and 39 patients who received chemotherapy alone (C) were divided into a study group and a control group, respectively. The patients were also divided into the bevacizumab-exposed subgroup and the bevacizumab-unexposed subgroup based on whether they had a history of bevacizumab infusion. Clinicopathological data and follow-up information were statistically analyzed. Independent prognostic factors were identified via survival analysis, and the safety of combination therapy was assessed via adverse event analysis. Results: As of the follow-up cutoff date of July 1, 2025, in both the subgroups with and without a history of bevacizumab infusion, there was no statistically significant difference between the control and study groups in baseline pathological characteristic parameters ( Conclusion: Our exploratory findings suggest that bevacizumab combined with pemetrexed/platinum-based chemotherapy may be a therapeutic option for MPM patients after CRS+HIPEC; however, a prospective, randomized controlled clinical study is needed to validate our findings.
