Epidemiological trends of cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer in Northeastern Italy: Administrative analysis over a 17-year period (2007-2023).

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
backgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a heterogeneous group of aggressive malignancies arising from the biliary tree. Epidemiological data show an increase in the incidence of intrahepatic CCA in Western countries and a stable or decrease in the incidence of extrahepatic CCA. There are conflicting results in literature regarding the trend of the incidence of gallbladder cancer. However, most studies refer to a time period before 2000.
aimTo investigate the recent epidemiology of CCA and gallbladder cancer in Northeast Italy using regional data of hospital admissions.
methodsWe performed a 17-year (2007-2023) retrospective analysis of hospital discharge records of the Veneto Region. During the period 10778 first hospital admissions for biliary tract cancers in the main or secondary diagnosis were recorded. Data were analyzed by the
resultsThe total number of hospitalizations for biliary tract cancers remained stable over the past 17 years (186 hospitalizations/year for intrahepatic CCA, 211 for extrahepatic CCA, and 237 for gallbladder cancer/unspecified biliary tract). Age-standardized hospitalization rates for intrahepatic and extrahepatic CCA decreased respectively from 4.9 cases to 3.4 per 100000 inhabitants (APC = -2.0, 95% confidence interval: -3.2 to -0.7,
conclusionOur study reported a decreasing hospitalization rate for CCA and a stable trend for gallbladder cancer over a 17-year period, suggesting a change in the epidemiology of these tumors.
