Opportunities and Approaches to Optimising Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma Outcomes in the Era of Targeted Therapies: A Narrative Review.
Review in Oncology and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) represents a diverse group of malignancies. It is often identified at a late stage after the opportunity for curable resection has passed. An international educational meeting on CCA was held in Barcelona in September 2024. The meeting described the challenges with obtaining accurate epidemiological estimates for CCA because of misdiagnosis and marked regional differences, reflecting the prevalence of socioeconomic risk factors. Early-stage CCA is usually asymptomatic, and when symptoms appear, they are nonspecific. Diagnosis and treatment planning should involve a multidisciplinary team (MDT) from the outset. The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines recommend molecular testing using next-generation sequencing when advanced disease is diagnosed. Biopsy sampling is technically challenging; if insufficient quality tissue is collected for molecular testing, liquid biopsy can be used. If the tumour is unresectable, the recommended first-line treatment is cisplatin + gemcitabine + durvalumab a programmed cell death ligand 1 [PD-L1] inhibitor or pembrolizumab a programmed cell death protein 1 [PD-1] inhibitor. The development of targeted therapies has led to these treatments being recommended as second- or third-line therapy for patients with actionable gene alterations, while 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy is recommended for those without. Robust data support the use of ivosidenib in patients with IDH1 mutations (phase 3), and phase 2 trials showed efficacy of pemigatinib and futibatinib for patients with FGFR2 gene fusions, trastuzumab deruxtecan and zanidatamab for patients with HER2 overexpression/amplification, and dabrafenib + trametinib for patients with BRAF
