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

backgroundPredictions concerning the natural history of peritoneal surface malignancy may be available from the study of the sites of cancer progression on the peritoneal surface. As a first step to identify useful clinical and histopathological correlations the multiple morphologic types of peritoneal metastases must be identified and a meaningful nomenclature associated with each type.

methodsThe morphological types were selected from their appearance on peritoneal surfaces. Both open and laparoscopic observations and photographs were utilized. The pathophysiology that was responsible for the lesion's appearance was an important consideration in separating the numerous shapes and sizes into specific morphologic types.

resultsAs an initial step peritoneal lesions were separated into raised types and flat types. Line drawings of each of the 10 morphologic types were constructed and a single illustrative photograph associated with each morphologic type. A description of the pathophysiology of each type was contained within the text.

conclusionsTen morphologic types of peritoneal surface malignancies were selected, illustrated and provided with a definitive nomenclature. The pathophysiology of each type was presented. These morphologic types are considered the starting place for further study of morphology in the prediction of outcome of peritoneal metastases treatments.
