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

purposeThe aim of the present study is to report the clinical results of patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) who received combination therapy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), toripalimab and surufatinib.

methodsThe study cohort consisted of 28 patients with advanced ICC who were treated with HAIC (mFOLFOX6 regimen, Q3W) in combination with intravenous toripalimab (240 mg, Q3W) and oral surufatinib (150 mg, once daily). The cohort had 14 male and 14 female patients. The baseline characteristics of the study cohort were obtained. The tumor response and drug-associated toxicity were assessed and reported.

resultsDuring the follow-up period (median follow-up time: 11.3 months; range: 4-19 months), four patients died of tumor progression. The objective response rate and disease control rate were 58% and 79%, respectively. The mPFS was 9.5 months, and the overall survival rate was 83.3%. The most frequent adverse events were nausea and vomiting (100%) and abdominal pain (85.7%). Serious complications related to death were not observed.

conclusionThe combination treatment schedule for advanced ICC demonstrated positive efficacy and safety profiles. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This study provides promising clinical guidance for the treatment of advanced cholangiocarcinoma and is expected to modify the treatment strategy for this disease.
