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

backgroundSynchronous small- and large-duct intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) represents a rare and heterogeneous entity, posing challenges for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection. The pathological and molecular diversity between these subtypes influences tumor behavior and therapeutic response, necessitating a personalized approach. This study investigates the molecular and pathological heterogeneity of synchronous iCCA and its clinical implications.

methodsThis prospective case series included six patients diagnosed with synchronous small- and large-duct iCCA at the Military Medical Academy, Sofia, between January 2023 and January 2025, with a median follow-up of 15 months. Tumor classification was based on histopathological examination, immunohistochemical analysis, and next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based genomic profiling. Radiological and clinical data were analyzed to assess tumor growth patterns, treatment response, and progression-free survival (PFS).
