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

The diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remains challenging. Although new technologies have been developed and validated, their routine use in clinical practice is needed. Conventional cytology obtained during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-guided brushings is the first-line technique for the diagnosis of CCA, but it has shown limited sensitivity when combined with endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy. Other diagnostic tools have been proposed for the diagnosis of CCA, with their respective advantages and limitations. Cholangioscopy with biopsy or cytology combined with FISH analysis, intraductal biliary ultrasound and confocal laser microscopy have made significant advances in the last decade. More recently, developments in the analytical "omics" sciences have allowed the mapping of the microbiota of patients with CCA, and liquid biopsy with proteomic and extracellular vesicle analysis has allowed the identification of new biomarkers that can be incorporated into the predictive diagnostics. Furthermore, in the preoperative setting, radiomics, radiogenomics and the integrated use of artificial intelligence may provide new useful foundations for integrated diagnosis and personalized therapy for hepatobiliary diseases. This review aims to evaluate the current diagnostic approaches and innovative translational research that can be integrated for the diagnosis of CCA.
