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

BACKGROUND &

aimsCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a poorly immunogenic malignancy associated with limited survival. Syngeneic immunocompetent mouse models of CCA are an essential tool to elucidate the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), understand mechanisms of tumor immune evasion, and test novel immunotherapeutic strategies. The scope of this study was to develop and characterize immunocompetent CCA models with distinct genetic drivers, and correlate tumor genomics, immunobiology, and therapeutic response.

methodsA multifaceted approach including scRNA-seq, CITE-seq, whole exome and bulk RNA sequencing was employed. FDA-approved PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies were tested in humanized PD-1/PD-L1 mice (HuPD-H1).

resultsA genetic mouse model of intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) driven by intrabiliary transduction of Fbxw7ΔF/Akt that mimics human iCCA was generated. From the Fbxw7ΔF/Akt tumors, a murine cell line (FAC) and syngeneic model with genetic and phenotypic characteristics of human iCCA were developed. Established SB1 (YAP

conclusionsSyngeneic iCCA models display a correlation between tumor genotype and TIME phenotype, with differential responses to FDA-approved immunotherapies. This study underscores the importance of leveraging multiple preclinical models to understand responses to immunotherapy in different genetic subsets of human CCA. IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS: Understanding the relationship between tumor genotype and the phenotype of the immune microenvironment is an unmet need in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Herein, we use syngeneic murine models of intrahepatic CCA with different genetic drivers to demonstrate a correlation between tumor genotype and immune microenvironment phenotype in murine models, which is associated with differential responses to FDA-approved immunotherapies. This information will help guide other preclinical studies. Additionally, it emphasizes that immune checkpoint inhibition in patients with CCA is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Our observations suggest that, as for targeted therapies, patients should be stratified and selected for treatment according to their tumor genetics.
