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

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an orphan cancer with limited understanding of its genetic and genomic pathogenesis. Typically, it is highly treatment-refractory and patient outcome is dismal. Currently, there are no approved therapeutics for CCA and surgical resection remains the only option with curative intent. Clinical trials are currently being performed in a mixed cohort of biliary tract cancers that includes intrahepatic CCA, extrahepatic/perihilar CCA, distal extrahepatic CCA, gallbladder carcinoma and, in rare cases, even pancreatic cancers. Today, clinical trials fail primarily because they are underpowered mixed cohorts and designed without intent to enrich for markers to optimize success for targeted therapy. This review aims to emphasize current clinical attempts for targeted therapy of CCA, as well as highlight promising new candidate pathways revealed by translational genomics.
