The Search for Risk, Diagnostic, and Prognostic Biomarkers of Cholangiocarcinoma and Their Biological and Clinicopathologic Significance.
Review in The American journal of pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) are a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors that originate from the biliary tract. They are usually diagnosed in advanced stages, leading to a poor prognosis for affected patients. As CCA often arises as a sporadic cancer in individuals lacking specific risk factors or with heterogeneous backgrounds, and there are no defined high-risk groups, the implementation of effective surveillance programs for CCA is problematic. The identification and validation of new biomarkers useful for risk stratification, diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction of treatment response remains an unmet need for patients with CCA, even though numerous studies have been conducted lately to try to discover and validate CCA biomarkers. In this review, we overview the available information about the different types of biomarkers that have been investigated in recent years using minimally invasive biospecimens (blood, serum/plasma, bile, and urine) and their potential usefulness in diagnosis, prognosis, and risk stratification. It is widely accepted that early detection of CCA will impact patients' outcomes, by improving survival rates, quality of life, and the possibility of less invasive and/or curative treatments; however, challenges to its translation and clinical application for patients with CCA need to be resolved.
