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

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a relatively rare subtype of cholangiocarcinoma, and there has been an increasing incidence of ICC in Western countries in recent years. Surgical resection is the most effective treatment for ICC. However, overall outcomes are extremely poor given that most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and postoperative ICC recurrence is still very high despite hepatic resection. We report a case of metastatic ICC to the stomach presenting after resection of the original tumor, with imaging characteristics highly resembling gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) on imaging. Reported cases of metastatic ICC to the liver are sparse. Given that there is a significant difference in the survival rate between metastatic cholangiocarcinoma and other tumors arising from the gastrointestinal tract, including GISTs, it is important to delineate the differences via imaging features. We further discuss the imaging characteristics of intrahepatic ICC, comparing and contrasting it to other gastric tumors.
