Integrative genomic analyses of European intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Novel ROS1 fusion gene and PBX1 as prognostic marker.
Article in Clinical and translational medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a fatal cancer of the bile duct with a poor prognosis owing to limited therapeutic options. The incidence of intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) is increasing worldwide, and its molecular basis is emerging. Environmental factors may contribute to regional differences in the mutation spectrum of European patients with iCCA, which are underrepresented in systematic genomic and transcriptomic studies of the disease.
methodsWe describe an integrated whole-exome sequencing and transcriptomic study of 37 iCCAs patients in Germany.
resultsWe observed as most frequently mutated genes ARID1A (14%), IDH1, BAP1, TP53, KRAS, and ATM in 8% of patients. We identified FGFR2::BICC1 fusions in two tumours, and FGFR2::KCTD1 and TMEM106B::ROS1 as novel fusions with potential therapeutic implications in iCCA and confirmed oncogenic properties of TMEM106B::ROS1 in vitro. Using a data integration framework, we identified PBX1 as a novel central regulatory gene in iCCA. We performed extended screening by targeted sequencing of an additional 40 CCAs. In the joint analysis, IDH1 (13%), BAP1 (10%), TP53 (9%), KRAS (7%), ARID1A (7%), NF1 (5%), and ATM (5%) were the most frequently mutated genes, and we found PBX1 to show copy gain in 20% of the tumours. According to other studies, amplifications of PBX1 tend to occur in European iCCAs in contrast to liver fluke-associated Asian iCCAs.
conclusionsBy analyzing an additional European cohort of iCCA patients, we found that PBX1 protein expression was a marker of poor prognosis. Overall, our findings provide insight into key molecular alterations in iCCA, reveal new targetable fusion genes, and suggest that PBX1 is a novel modulator of this disease.
