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

backgroundThe oral multikinase inhibitor sorafenib is the new reference standard for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Only few data are available on the use of sorafenib in cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC).

methodsA 70-year-old male patient with histologically confirmed unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma not amenable to any other systemic chemotherapy was treated with sorafenib 400 mg bid.

resultsSorafenib treatment led to a significant improvement of tumor symptoms, liver function parameters, and a decrease in tumor marker levels. The best radiologic tumor response according to RECIST and mRECIST was stable disease (SD) with a time to progression (TTP) of 5.7 months. Side effects of sorafenib (diarrhea, fatigue, and skin toxicity) were low-grade and manageable. Twenty-four months after sorafenib initiation the patient is still alive and presents in a well-preserved physical constitution, performance status 0. Gene analyses revealed that neither B-raf nor K-ras was mutated in our patient.

conclusionsSorafenib was effective and well-tolerated in a patient with advanced cholangiocellular carcinoma. Prospective trials are warranted to evaluate the benefit of sorafenib in unresectable CCC.
