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

backgroundWith minimally effective chemotherapy options, cholangiocarcinoma patients have 5 year survival rate of 10%. Tumor genetic profiling (TGP) can identify mutations susceptible to targeted therapies. We sought to describe the use of TGP and frequency of actionable results in resected cholangiocarcinoma.

methodsA retrospective review of patients undergoing curative intent resection at a comprehensive cancer center (2010-2020). Clinicopathologic and partial or whole exome sequencing data were reviewed.

results114 patients (mean age 65 ± 11 years, 45% female) underwent resection of cholangiocarcinoma (46% poorly differentiated, 54% intrahepatic, 36% node positive, 75% margin negative). Additionally, 32% of patients underwent TGP, yielding a mean of 3.1 actionable mutations per patient (range 0-14). Mutations aligned with a median of one drug per patient (range 0-11). Common mutations included DISCUSSION: TGP for cholangiocarcinoma has increased over the last decade with targeted therapies identified in most sequenced tumors, impacting treatment in a quarter of eligible patients. Precision medicine will play a central role in the future care of cholangiocarcinoma.
