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

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant liver tumor associated with a dismal prognosis, largely due to chemotherapy resistance. However, the mechanisms underlying gemcitabine (GEM) resistance in ICC remain poorly understood. In this study, we established three GEM-resistant cell models and evaluated their resistance by assessing cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and DNA damage. GEM-resistant cells exhibited significant tolerance to GEM-induced growth inhibition, reduced cell cycle arrest, and decreased DNA damage compared to parental cells. We then explored potential resistance mechanisms and found that pathways and targets such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition, PI3K/Akt, p53R2, and IGF-1R did not show a significant correlation with ICC resistance. Interestingly, our findings suggested that reactive oxygen species might promote GEM resistance in ICC. In conclusion, we characterized a GEM-resistant ICC model, which can be employed to investigate alternative resistance mechanisms and explore new treatment approaches.
