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

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary liver cancer but represents only a small portion of all primary liver cancers. At the time of diagnosis, patients are often not surgical candidates due to tumor burden of other comorbidities. In addition, there is a very high rate of tumor recurrence after resection. Local regional therapies, specifically ablative therapies of radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation, and irreversible electroporation, have proven to be beneficial with other hepatic tumors. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview and update of the medical literature demonstrating ablative therapy as a treatment option for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
