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

Bile duct tumor thrombus (BDTT) is a rare manifestation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that causes obstructive jaundice and is associated with a poor prognosis, although a treatment algorithm has yet to be established. We review the treatment landscape for HCC with BDTT, including surgical, transarterial, systemic, and radiotherapy options, and report, to our knowledge, the first case series of magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) for this condition. Four patients with unresectable HCC and BDTT were treated on a 0.35-T MR-linac with real-time cine-MRI gating (50 Gy in 5 fractions,
