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

Background & Aims: Tumor necrosis is a pathological feature of solid tumors that is associated with poor prognosis and aggressive characteristics. However, its prognostic significance and underlying mechanisms in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact, clinic-pathological relevance, molecular regulation, and microenvironment alterations associated with tumor necrosis in pCCA. Methods: We recruited 306 eligible patients with pCCA to assess the prognostic impact and clinic-pathological relevance of pathological tumor necrosis. Laser capture microdissection coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry was used to identify the molecular changes in pCCA cells within peri-necrotic regions. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed to elucidate the microenvironment alterations associated with tumor necrosis. Results: Tumor necrosis was present in 52.9% (162/306) of patients with pCCA and was identified as an independent risk factor associated with adverse prognosis (hazard ratio 1.42, 95% CI 1.02-1.97, Conclusions: Pathological tumor necrosis leads to augmented vessel permeability and tumor dissemination in pCCA. ANGPTL6 is a potential target for mitigating the metastatic burden in pCCA. Impact and implications: Pathological tumor necrosis has been identified as an independent risk factor in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), showing positive correlation with metastatic burden.
