Observational study in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05694845 (A Clinical Study Experiences of Cholangiocarcinoma Patients To Identify Trial Attributes Affecting Completion Rates For Specific Demographic Groups), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

purposeCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive biliary tract malignancy and overall prognosis remains poor, with a median survival of less than 24 months. Sequencing studies have revealed a high prevalence of genomic alterations in CCA, with multiple potential therapeutic targets. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can identify actionable mutations such as FGFR, IDH, BRAF, ERBB2, ROS1, or microsatellite instability (MSI-H), among others.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective multicenter study in Spain in 2019. Thirty consecutive patients from 15 centers were included. All patients were diagnosed with advanced CCA and underwent NGS (FoundationOne®) in 2019. Twenty-four patients underwent tissue-based NGS (FoundationOne® CDx), and 6 patients underwent blood-based NGS (FoundationOne®Liquid) with sequencing panels of 324 and 70 genes, respectively

resultsWe identified 12 patients (40%) with an actionable genetic alteration in tissue: 2 FGFR2 fusions, 6 IDH1 mutations, 1 ERBB2 mutation, 1 ROS1 fusion, 1 PIK3CA mutation, and 1 MSI-H.

conclusionComprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) in cholangiocarcinoma can identify, in a high proportion of patients, clinically relevant genomic alterations that can lead to targeted therapies, expanding treatment options.
