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.
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
Objective: Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) is a rare type of primary liver cancer with characteristics of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC). The pathogenesis of cHCCCC is poorly understood due to a shortage of suitable in vitro models. Due to scarce availability of human liver tissue, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a useful alternative source to produce renewable liver cells. For use in the development of liver pathology models, here we successfully developed and evaluated iPSCs from liver fibroblasts of a patient with cHCC-CC. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, human liver fibroblasts (HLFs) were obtained from the liver biopsy of a 69-year-old male patient with cHCC-CC and transduced with a retroviral cocktail that included four factors - OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC (OSKM). Pluripotency of the iPSCs was determined by alkaline phosphatase (AP) staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and immunofluorescence. We induced Results: HLF iPSCs derived from the cHCC-CC patient displayed typical iPSC-like morphology and pluripotency marker expression. The proficiency of the iPSCs to differentiate into three germ layers was assessed both Conclusion: We established HLF iPSCs using liver fibroblasts from a patient with cHCC-CC for the first time. The HLF iPSCs maintained marker expression in the patient when differentiated into EBs. Therefore, HLF iPSCs may be a sustainable cell source for modelling cHCC-CC and beneficial for understanding liver cancer pathology and developing therapies for cHCC-CC treatment.
