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

Multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (MCPM) is a borderline variant of peritoneal mesothelioma with indolent behaviour but a significant recurrence rate without radical treatment. Due to its rarity, risk factors and optimal treatment are still to clarify. The present clinical case is a report of MCPM developed after laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (Lap CRS-HIPEC) for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) of appendiceal origin. The patient was treated for PMP with Lap CRS-HIPEC. One year later a recurrence was suspected at the thorax-abdomen computed tomography scan. After multidisciplinary discussion, she underwent iterative Lap CRS-HIPEC. Pathological examinations revealed MCPM. After 3 years of follow-up the patient is disease-free for both tumours. This is a unique case of MCPM mimicking recurrent PMP. Lap CRS-HIPEC is an effective approach for both conditions.
