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

Klatskin tumors are cholangiocarcinomas which arise at the biliary bifurcation (perihilar cholangiocarcinoma). Due to the close anatomical relationship to the liver parenchyma, portal bifurcation and hepatic arteries, the treatment of these tumors represents a major challenge. The only curative treatment option so far is the complete surgical removal of the affected bile ducts. This often warrants an en bloc liver resection sometimes in combination with resection and reconstruction of the portal vein and occasionally of the hepatic artery. A regional lymphadenectomy is mandatory. The operations are technically challenging and associated with a significant perioperative morbidity up to 50-60% and mortality of around 10%.
