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

backgroundThe National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend adjuvant therapy for patients with resectable cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The trends in utilization and receipt of adjuvant therapy and its association with overall survival have not been well studied among patients with low-risk CCA.

methodsPatients who received systemic chemotherapy for low-risk CCA after surgical resection (2010-2017) were identified in the National Cancer Database. Low-risk CCA was defined according to NCCN guidelines as patients with R0 margins and negative regional lymph nodes. Multivariable analysis was performed to assess predictors of NCCN guideline concordance and its association with overall survival.

resultsAmong 4519 patients who underwent resection for low-risk CCA, 55.5% (n = 2510) had intrahepatic, 15.0% (n = 680) had perihilar, and 29.4% (n = 1329) had distal cholangiocarcinoma. Adherence to NCCN guidelines increased from 27.7% in 2010 to 41.6% in 2017 (p

conclusionAdherence to evidence-based NCCN guidelines was associated with improved survival among low-risk CCA patients. Geographical disparities in the receipt of NCCN guideline-concordant care exist and may influence long-term outcomes among CCA patients.
