Immunohistochemical basis for FAP as a candidate theranostic target across a broad range of cholangiocarcinoma subtypes.
Article in Frontiers in nuclear medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: The aims of this study were to evaluate and compare fibroblast activation protein (FAP) expression and localization in surgically resected cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), primary and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatocellular adenoma (HCA), and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), and to identify any association between CCA clinical or pathologic features and FAP expression. Materials and methods: FAP immunostaining from surgically resected CCA ( Results: Moderate-strong FAP expression in the tumor stroma was present in 93.1% of CCA, 60.7% of extrahepatic metastatic HCC, 29.6% of primary HCC, 21.1% of FNH, and 11.6% of HCA. Moderate-strong FAP expression in tumor stroma was significantly more prevalent in CCA than HCC ( Conclusion: FAP is expressed in the stroma of a high proportion (93%) of primary CCA independent of patient clinical or tumor pathology features. As such, these data provide the tissue basis for systematically evaluating FAP as a theranostic target across a broad range of CCA subtypes.
