Efficacy and safety of octreotide versus somatostatin therapy after CRS + HIPEC in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

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
objectivesThis study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of perioperative somatostatin versus octreotide in peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) patients after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) + hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
methodsPeritoneal cancer patients treated with CRS + HIPEC were divided into two groups (somatostatin group and octreotide group). The postoperative gastric drainage volume, levels of inflammatory factors, perioperative safety and adverse effects were compared between two groups.
resultsThere were 48 (54.5%) patients in the somatostatin group and 40 (45.4%) in the octreotide group. There was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative gastric drainage volume between two groups. The median time to exhaust and defecation (7 d) was comparable between two groups (3-14 d in the somatostatin group and 4-13 d in the octreotide group). There were significant differences in the serum amylase level on postoperative day 3 (P = 0.044), and white blood cell level and neutrophil percentage at every monitoring time. The serious adverse events (SAEs) were similar and there were no long-term follow-up results between two groups.
conclusionsSomatostatin and octreotide analogues appear to decrease the duration of enterocutaneous fistulas, but their application in PC patients after CRS + HIPEC might reduce SAEs.
