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 an epithelial bile duct cancer frequently found at an advanced stage, leading to poor response to current therapies. Although gemcitabine (GEM) and cisplatin (CIS) are the current gold-standard for treating unresectable CCA, GEM resistance often occurs. To predict the response to GEM, we evaluated chromosomal aberrations using a chromosome microarray, and their association with GEM response by histoculture drug response assay. Our findings revealed principal component analysis and orthogonal partial-least square discriminant analysis cross validated score plot between response and non-response groups were different. Different signature patterns of chromosomes between response and non-response groups analyzed by heatmap analysis identified 34 regions of 15 chromosomes. An increased signal in responders and a decreased signal in non-responders were found in regions 4q32.1, 5q12.3, 10q21.3, 11p11.2, 11q14.2, 16p11.2, 17q22, 21q21.3 and 22q12.3. In contrast, a high signal in non-responders and low signal in responders were seen in regions 2q37.2, 11q14.1, 16q22.3 and 16q23.3. High signal of CDH13 and TENM4 were demonstrated in GEM non-response, while a high CWC27 signal was noted in GEM response. This signature pattern could provide the knowledge to improve a predictive biomarker for GEM response, benefitting for individual CCA patient management and chemotherapeutic selection.
