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 (iCCA) is a rare and complex malignancy of the biliary epithelium. Due to its silent presentation, patients are frequently diagnosed late in their disease course, resulting in poor overall survival. Advances in molecular profiling and targeted therapies have improved medical management, but long-term survival is rarely seen with medical therapy alone. Surgical resection offers a survival advantage, but negative oncologic margins are difficult to achieve, recurrence rates are high, and the need for adequate future liver remnant limits the extent of resection. Advances in neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments have broadened patient treatment options, and these agents are undergoing active investigation, especially in the setting of advanced, initially unresectable disease. For those who are not able to undergo resection, liver transplantation is emerging as a potential curative therapy in certain cases. Patient selection, favorable tumor biology, and a protocolized, multidisciplinary approach are ultimately necessary for best patient outcomes. This review will discuss the current surgical management of locally advanced, liver-limited intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma as well as the role of liver transplantation for select patients with background liver disease.
