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

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a primary malignant tumor of the liver, typically diagnosed in advanced stages. Surgical resection remains the principal treatment method in clinical practice. Regrettably, the majority of patients receive their diagnosis at an advanced stage, making surgical intervention unfeasible. While chemotherapy serves as the main palliative treatment for advanced CCA, its effectiveness is significantly limited due to the rapid development of chemoresistance. Studying the pathogenesis of CCA and new resistance targets is crucial for improving clinical outcomes. In our current study, we first identified the expression of SLC16A1 in the transcriptome and proteome of human tumors and found abnormal expression of SLC16A1 in various human cancers. Subsequently, we focused our attention on the role of SLC16A1 in CCA. Utilizing bioinformatics analysis, we pioneered the identification of the clinical significance of SLC16A1 in this type of cancer. Specifically, higher expression levels of SLC16A1 were observed in CCA patients with venous invasion and higher T and M stages. Additionally, patients with higher SLC16A1 expression had poorer prognoses. These results suggest the oncogenic role of SLC16A1 in CCA. Further immune infiltration analysis revealed a significant correlation between SLC16A1 and the infiltration levels of cells like neutrophils and macrophages in the tumor microenvironment, indicating SLC16A1's potential involvement in regulating the tumor immune microenvironment of CCA. Moreover, results from functional and pathway enrichment analyses revealed that SLC16A1 might affect clinical outcomes in CCA patients by participating in drug metabolism processes. Finally, through further
