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

Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are a set of molecularly distinct and heterogeneous diseases. While cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the current standard of care for treatment-naïve and treatment-refractory unresectable disease, recently identified mutations driving oncologic development offer opportunities for targeted therapy. Currently, alterations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF), DNA damage repair, and HER2 pathways have demonstrated promising new therapeutic avenues, among others, and various studies have demonstrated clinical activity with targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors and/or antibodies. In this review, we will discuss the currently identified targets for therapy in BTCs and review currently available data regarding clinical development of treatment options in these molecularly distinct subsets.
