Lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma with Epstein-Barr virus infection treated by radiofrequency ablation.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma (LELCC) is a rare intrahepatic tumor. There are usually no specific physical findings, and the tumors are often diagnosed incidentally and are frequently large-sized at diagnosis. The imaging findings of LELCC resemble those of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Tumors are often found in large-sized and advanced at diagnosis, and the main treatment of the disease is surgical resection. Herein, we report treating a patient with early stage LELCC by radiofrequency ablation (RFA). We diagnosed this tumor in a 27-year-old Chinese female with a history of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Based on the findings of blood examination, abdominal ultrasonography, and gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this tumor was diagnosed as suspected HCC. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous tumor biopsy and RFA were performed at the same time. The histopathological findings finally revealed the diagnosis of LELCC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report, in the English-language literature, of the treatment of LELCC by RFA; we suggest that RFA might be a candidate treatment for small-sized early stage LELCC.
