Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin for the treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2015. 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.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC).
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the outcomes for 65 patients with advanced BTC treated by TACE with gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m(2) and oxaliplatin 100 mg/m(2). Follow-up laboratory tests and computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging were performed routinely to evaluate the response of the tumor to treatment. All patients were assessed for adverse effects.
resultsOf the 65 patients, 19 (29.2%) achieved a partial response, 36 (55.4%) showed stable disease, and ten (15.4%) showed progressive disease. The overall response rate was 29.2%. At the end of this study, five patients were still alive. The median overall survival was 12.0 months (95% confidence interval 8.5-15.5). There were no serious complications after TACE.
conclusionThe disease control rate and overall survival in this retrospective study were consistent with those in previous reports. TACE with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin was well tolerated and highly effective in patients with advanced BTC.
