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

The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has been increasing in recent years and now represents the second most common primary hepatic cancer in the United States. The prognosis is dismal without surgical resection. In patients ineligible to receive curative treatments, locoregional therapies represent a diverse array of techniques that can stabilize or reverse tumor progression to improve overall survival and reduce tumor-related symptoms. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and transarterial radioembolization (TARE) have been demonstrated to be efficacious methods for this patient population. Deciding between these two options is challenging. This article reviews the differences in patient selection, preprocedural evaluation, financial considerations and availability, quality of life, and rates of complications and overall survival.
