Liver Transplantation for Cholangiocarcinoma: Insights into the Prognosis and the Evolving Indications.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purpose of reviewCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare malignancy of the biliary ducts that can be classified as intrahepatic, perihilar, or distal based on anatomic location. Although surgical resection can be curative, complete excision with negative margins is often difficult to achieve. In patients with unresectable disease, long-term survival is rarely seen with medical therapy alone. A multimodal treatment approach, including liver transplantation (LT) for select patients with unresectable CCA, should be considered. RECENT
findingsWhile currently only an approved indication for early, liver-limited, perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, promising results have been achieved for LT in localized intrahepatic disease. The absolute indication for transplant for intrahepatic tumors is currently the subject of multiple investigations. Continued advances in neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy and better understanding of tumor biology may further augment the number of candidates for surgical therapies, with liver transplant acting as a promising tool to improve patient outcomes. Thorough consideration for any expansion in the indication for liver transplant in malignancy is necessary in order to balance patient outcomes with utilization of the scarce donor organ resources.
