Real-world outcomes of chemotherapy plus immune checkpoint inhibitors versus chemotherapy alone in advanced, unresectable, and recurrent 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
Background: There are limited treatment options available to improve the prognosis of patients with advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma particularly intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining chemotherapy plus anti-PD-1/L1 drugs compared to chemotherapy alone in advanced, unresectable, and recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients. Methods: Patients with advanced, unresectable, or recurrent iCCA who received chemotherapy combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors or chemotherapy alone were retrospectively screened and analyzed. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary outcomes were overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. Results: 81 eligible patients were included in the study (chemotherapy plus anti-PD-1/L1 group n=51, and chemotherapy-alone group n=30). The median OS was 11 months for the chemotherapy plus anti-PD-1/L1 group, significantly longer than the 8 months in the chemotherapy-alone group, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.53 (95% CI 0.30-0.94, Conclusion: Chemotherapy plus anti-PD-1/L1 represents a more effective and tolerable treatment option for advanced, unresectable, and recurrent iCCA patients compared to chemotherapy alone.
