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

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is an aggressive cancer arising within the liver from the bile ducts, and it is characterized by limited therapeutic options and a poor prognosis. This neoplasm exhibits both high intra-tumor and inter-tumor heterogeneity and many oncogenic and tumor suppressor genes are involved in its development and progression. Here, we summarize the major pathways and driver genes involved in the genesis and progression of iCCA, with a special look at their potential therapeutic values. We approach not only the well-known FGFR, IDH and HER2 alterations but also delve into less known cellular pathways such as cell surface receptors, cellular signaling pathways, tumor suppressor genes and metabolic pathways. The aim of our review is therefore not only to summarize the available evidence on singular pathways/alterations but also to foster and promote new investigations into lesser known alterations that could be present in each singular iCCA case.
