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

backgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA), which consists of intrahepatic CCA (iCCA), perihilar CCA (pCCA), and distal CCA (dCCA), is an aggressive malignancy worldwide. PCCA and dCCA are often classified as extrahepatic CCA (exCCA). However, the differences in mutational characteristics between pCCA and dCCA remain unclear.

methodsDeep sequencing targeting of 450 cancer genes was performed for genomic alteration detection. The tumor mutational burden (TMB) was measured by an algorithm developed in-house. Correlation analysis was conducted using Fisher's exact test.

results

conclusionsIn this study, we investigated the comprehensive genomic characterizations of CCA patients, identified the significant alterations in each subtype, and identified potential biomarkers for prognosis prediction. These results provide molecular evidence for the heterogeneity of CCA subtypes and evidence for further precision targeted therapy of CCA patients.
