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

Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) is a rare primary liver carcinoma that is composed of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Given its low incidence, there is no standardized treatment protocol or systemic regimens. With the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), one of the immunotherapies that modulate the immune system by restoring antitumor immune response, studies have shown promising results for the use of ICI as systemic therapy for advanced solid tumors, including liver cancers. Moreover, prospective clinical studies displayed favorable outcomes of the use of ICIs in HCC and biliary tract cancers. Here, we review the recent evidence in application and comparison of ICIs for HCC, CCA, and cHCC-CCA as well as the future direction of systemic therapy for cHCC-CCA.
