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

Locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive carcinoma with a dismal prognosis. For the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma, cisplatin/gemcitabine has been the standard of care for more than 10 years. Its combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab resulted in an efficiency improvement in the phase III setting. Regarding the use of chemotherapy in the second line, positive phase III data could only be generated for FOLFOX. The evidence base for nanoliposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI) plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) is contradictory. After the failure of first-line treatment, targeted therapies can be offered if the molecular targets microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), IDH1, FGFR2, BRAF V600E, and NTRK are detected. These targeted agents are generally preferable to second-line chemotherapy. Broad molecular testing should be performed, preferably from tumor tissue, at the initiation of first-line therapy to timely identify potential molecular targets.
