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

Trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) is increasingly evaluated for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Not all ICC patients benefit equally well from TARE. Therefore, we sought to evaluate variables predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Patients with non-resectable ICC underwent TARE and were treated with 90Y resin microspheres. Baseline characteristics, biochemical/clinical toxicities, and response were examined for impact on PFS and OS. A total of 103 treatments were administered to 73 patients without major complications or toxicity. Mean OS was 18.9 months (95% confidence intervals (CI); 13.9-23.9 months). Mean and median PFS were 10.1 months (95% CI; 7.9-12.2) and 6.4 months (95% CI; 5.20-7.61), respectively. Median OS and PFS were significantly prolonged in patients with baseline cholinesterase (CHE) ≥ 4.62 kU/L (OS: 14.0 vs. 5.5 months; PFS: 6.9 vs. 3.2 months;
