Beyond futility: The history and potential of liver transplantation in cholangiocarcinoma.
Review in World journal of transplantation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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) is a rare type of cancer which arises from the bile duct epithelium and carries a poor prognosis. One of the main risk factors in the Western world is primary sclerosing cholangitis. Surgical resection has traditionally been the only curative treatment but can only be offered to patients with early disease, excluding those with locally advanced disease. Despite initial poor outcomes, liver transplantation (LT) has evolved as a viable treatment for a select group of patients with CCAs that are deemed unresectable. This review aims to explore the evolution of the role of LT in patients with CCA.
