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

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a cancer with a low survival rate. New drugs targeting molecular alterations, oncogenic mutations, and gene fusions are being tested as second-line treatments. Objectives: This systematic review aims to summarize the results obtained with three new targeted therapies-pemigatinib, futibatinib, and ivosidenib-for the treatment of CCA, evaluating their safety and tolerability profiles in patients, compared to current standard therapies. Data sources and methods: A systematic literature search was performed with a cutoff date of July 24, 2023, in MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. The authors also conducted an advanced search in the ClinicalTrials.gov database, evaluated conference abstracts, article bibliographies, and drug monographs. Studies involving the treatment of patients with pemigatinib, futibatinib, and ivosidenib were considered. The selected studies had to report adverse events (AEs) that occurred during treatment with these therapies. Results: The most common AEs observed with pemigatinib, futibatinib, and ivosidenib were alopecia, diarrhea, fatigue, and dysgeusia. In addition, hyperphosphatemia, hypophosphatemia, and ocular disorders were observed with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors, while the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) inhibitor was associated with dose-dependent prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc). These AEs were effectively managed through dose adjustments. Conclusion: FGFR2 and IDH1 inhibitors have good tolerability in the population examined. All AEs were optimally managed with dose modulation. Future studies should focus on identifying the most effective dosages to further enhance treatment safety.
