Case report: Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (ICSABR): a novel treatment combination for Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

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
Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EBVa LEL-ICC) is a rare tumor, characterized by a rich tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). While this tumor is reportedly sensitive to immunotherapy, its response has been inconsistent. This decreased sensitivity was associated with reduced TIME abundance. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with EBVa LEL-ICC having reduced TIME abundance. The patient presented with a liver lesion, which was detected using ultrasound. Initially, the tumor was sensitive to immunotherapy and chemotherapy (IC), but resistance developed after a short interval. Subsequently, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) was added to the patient's treatment, which now consisted of ICSABR. Successful tumor shrinkage was achieved with the combination therapy regimen. Thus, surgery and ICSABR are effective adjuncts to the first-line IC therapy in improving the survival rate of patients with EBVa LEL-ICC. The results of this study support multidisciplinary treatment as a viable treatment strategy for EBVa LEL-ICC.
