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
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is resistant to systemic chemotherapies that kill malignant cells mainly through DNA damage responses (DDRs). Recent studies suggest that the involvement of 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG) dependent dioxygenases in DDRs may be associated with chemoresistance in malignancy, but how 2-OG impacts DDRs in CCA chemotherapy remains elusive. We examined serum 2-OG levels in CCA patients before receiving chemotherapy. CCA patients are classified as progressive disease (PD), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) after receiving chemotherapy. CCA patients classified as PD showed significantly higher serum 2-OG levels than those defined as SD and PR. Treating CCA cells with 2-OG reduced DDRs. Overexpression of full-length aspartate beta-hydroxylase (ASPH) could mimic the effects of 2-OG on DDRs, suggesting the important role of ASPH in chemoresistance. Indeed, the knockdown of ASPH improved chemotherapy in CCA cells. Targeting ASPH with a specific small molecule inhibitor also enhanced the effects of chemotherapy. Mechanistically, ASPH modulates DDRs by affecting ATM and ATR, two of the major regulators finely controlling DDRs. More importantly, targeting ASPH improved the therapeutic potential of chemotherapy in two preclinical CCA models. Our data suggested the impacts of elevated 2-OG and ASPH on chemoresistance through antagonizing DDRs. Targeting ASPH may enhance DDRs, improving chemotherapy in CCA patients.
