Applications of 3D models in cholangiocarcinoma.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The prognosis for patients diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is dismal, with an overall 5-year-mortality rate of 80%. Therapeutic approaches for this cancer are very limited and the only curative treatment is total surgical resection despite recent advancements in CCA research. However, only a minority of patients are eligible for surgery due to late-stage diagnosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to gain a deeper understanding of CCA and to discover new treatments, which can be achieved by utilization and optimization of 3D tumor models. Traditional 2D cell culture is still undeniably important in cancer research, especially for the discovery of biomarkers and drug screening. However, classical 2D tumor models do not represent the tumor biology in its full complexity as they lack the vital interactions between cancer cells, angiogenesis, and tumor microenvironment. In recent years, 3D models, including spheroids, 3D co-culture systems, organoids, tumors-on-a-chip, and the
