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

Purpose: Gemcitabine-cisplatin chemotherapy combined with anti-PD-L1 (GCP) therapy exhibits potent antitumor efficacy in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). We aim to determine the intra-tumoral changes of ICC following GCP therapy in this study. Methods: We performed single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) of 15 samples from 3 ICC patients receiving GCP therapy. The major findings of scRNA-seq analyses were further validated via analyzing the bulk RNA-seq data from the FU-iCCA cohort (n=244), as well as performing immunohistochemistry (IHC) and multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) staining on a treatment-naïve tissue microarray (TMA) cohort (n=89) and a GCP-treated cohort (n=32). Results: For the scRNA-seq cohort, two patients achieved tumor regression and underwent liver resection after GCP combination therapy. The intra-tumoral enrichment of CCL18 Conclusions: Our preliminary findings reveal a generally reactivated antitumor immune response in ICC following GCP therapy, which could partly illuminate the enigmatic black box of intra-tumoral cellular states associated with treatment response.
