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 a major cause of primary liver carcinoma and has been associated with the penetrance of several germline mutations. We present a 31-year-old female evaluated for left upper quadrant pain and abnormal liver function tests. Ultrasound revealed a nodule in the liver, and biopsy showed intrahepatic adenocarcinoma. Germline testing was positive for two mutations: c.1100delC and c.1227_1228dupGG on the CHEK2 gene and the MUTYH gene, respectively. The patient was started on chemotherapy and tolerated it well. We aimed to demonstrate an association between CHEK2 and MUTYH mutations with CCA and highlight the importance of genetic testing for at-risk patients.
