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 carries a poor prognosis making its management challenging. Histotripsy is a non-invasive, non-ionizing, and non-thermal therapy that mechanically disrupts tumors through acoustic cavitation. We present the case of a 59-year-old man with locally advanced, multifocal, stage II intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who achieved a complete pathologic response in the explanted liver after treatment with histotripsy and systemic drug therapy consisting of gemcitabine, cisplatin, durvalumab, and trastuzumab deruxtecan. This case highlights the potential role of noninvasive histotripsy as a bridging therapy to transplantation in selected patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
