Clinical features of biliary tract cancer in Japanese individuals with Lynch syndrome.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a Lynch syndrome (LS)-associated cancer with a high mortality rate. This study aimed to clarify the clinical features of BTC in individuals with LS and to discuss its management. Methods: We obtained data from genetically verified Japanese individuals with LS who were diagnosed at a single institution, between January 2003 and April 2021. Moreover, 21 individuals with sporadic BTC (n=15) and LS associated BTC (n=6) underwent microsatellite instability (MSI) testing. Results: Among 92 individuals with LS, 6 individuals with Conclusions: MSI analysis could facilitate LS identification in individuals with BTC. Surveillance for BTC should be considered for
