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

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common primary hepatobiliary malignancy and presents as three separate morphological subtypes; namely mass-forming, periductal-infiltrating, and intraductal-growing patterns. Each of these subtypes have distinct imaging characteristics, as well as a variety of benign and malignant mimics, making accurate diagnosis of CCA on imaging challenging. Whilst histopathological examination is required to arrive at a definitive diagnosis, it is still important for radiologists to be cognizant of these entities and provide reasonable differential diagnoses, as these potentially have a large impact on patient management. This pictorial essay illustrates the three morphological subtypes of CCA, as well as some important mimics for each subtype, that are encountered in clinical practice.
