Advances in Endoscopic Diagnosis and Management of Cholangiocarcinoma.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive malignancy originating from the epithelial lining of the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts. Although rare globally, its mortality closely mirrors incidence due to late-stage presentation of the disease and limited curative options. While surgical resection and liver transplantation remain the cornerstone treatments for those with resectable disease, endoscopic techniques have emerged as versatile tools for diagnosis, therapy, and palliation. In recent years, there have been major advancements in endoscopic therapies, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), intraluminal brachytherapy (ILBT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The current narrative review serves to provide an overview of current and emerging endoscopic strategies for CCA, emphasizing diagnostic capabilities, therapeutic approaches, palliative interventions, and future directions.
