    BackgroundWhether prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) offers long-term survival benefit to patients with low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) after resection surgery is still under heated debate. The aim of the present meta-analysis is to investigate the comparative effectiveness and safety of prophylactic HIPEC regimens in LAMNs METHODS:: A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), clinicaltrials.gov and controlledtrials.com will be performed. All published RCTs and quasi-RCTs through July 20, 2020 with language restricted in English will be included in this review study. Two reviewers will independently conduct the procedures of study identification, data collection, and methodological quality assessment. The primary outcomes are overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The secondary outcomes consist of peritonitis and sepsis, colonic fistula, chemotherapy-associated adverse events, and adhesive intestinal obstruction. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) or hazard ratios (HRs) and relative 95% confident intervals (CIs) of each outcome measurement will be calculated. EndNote X9 software will be applied to manage all citations. The Stata software version 14.0 and R x64 software version 3.5.1 will be employed for main statistical analyses.DiscussionThis study will employ a network meta-analysis to summarize direct and indirect evidence in the specific area to provide detailed individualized guidance on surgical management for LAMNs.RegistrationThis protocol was registered with the International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (INPLASY) on 25 July 2020 (registration number INPLASY202070112).
