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

Background and purpose: Following the TOPAZ-1 trial, chemoimmunotherapy with durvalumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin (GCD) became the standard first-line treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC). This study aimed to compare the therapeutic efficacy of GCD and gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1 (GCS). Methods: This single-center, retrospective study consecutively included patients with advanced BTC receiving primary treatment with GCD or GCS between November 2018 and August 2024. Results: A total 265 patients with advanced BTC were included: 97 were treated with GCD and 168 were treated with GCS. Median overall survival (OS) was 17.1 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 12.7-20.6 months] in the GCD group versus 18.3 months (95% CI 15.4-20.4 months) in the GCS group, with no statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: GCD and GCS provide comparable survival outcomes and safety in clinical practice, with a significantly longer DoR in the GCS group. Alongside GCD, GCS represents one of the standard treatment options for advanced BTC.
