Review in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

introductionCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive and nearly always fatal tumor of the biliary tract. PURPOSE: This review explores risk factors, epidemiology, current diagnostic approaches, and treatment of CCA arising in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

methodsWe review latest recommendations about screening strategies to enable the early detection of CCA in PSC, using CA 19-9 and ultrasound imaging, as well as fluorescent in situ hybridization techniques to enhance the accuracy of biliary cytology. We also review the emerging role of liver transplantation.
