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

Introduction Klatskin tumors (KTs) occur at the confluence of the right and left extrahepatic ducts and are classified based on their anatomical and histological codes in the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O). The second edition of the ICD-O (ICD-O-2) allocated a distinctive histological code to KT, which also included intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CC). This unclear coding may result in ambiguous reporting of the demographic and clinical features of KT. The current study aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and pathological factors affecting the prognosis and survival of KT in the light of the updated third edition of ICD-O, Ninth Revision (ICD-O-3). Methods Data of 1,144 patients with KT from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database (2001-2012) were extracted. Patients with KT were analyzed for age, sex, race, stage, treatment, and long-term survival. The data were analyzed using chi-square tests, t-tests, and univariate and multivariate analyses. The Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare long-term survival between KT and subgroups of all biliary CCs. Results Of all biliary CCs, KT comprised 9.35%, with a mean age of diagnosis of 73±13 years, and was more common in men (54.8%) and Caucasian patients (69.5%). Histologically, moderately differentiated tumors were the most common (38.9%) followed by poorly differentiated (35.7%), well-differentiated (23.3%), and undifferentiated tumors (2.2%) (p<0.001). Most tumors in the KT group were 2-4 cm in size (41.5%), while fewer were >4 cm (29.7%) and <2 cm (28.8%) (
