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: Due to its rarity, synchronous double primary hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (sdpHCC-ICC) presents significant challenges for preoperative diagnosis and is lacking established systemic therapies. Here, we present an extremely rare case of unresectable collision-type sdpHCC-ICC with pulmonary metastases, who achieved significant responses in both pulmonary metastases and hepatic lesions following combination immunotherapy. Case report: This case report describes a 69-year-old male diagnosed with collision-type sdpHCC-ICC accompanied by pulmonary metastases. The patient underwent combination immunotherapy with dual immune therapy of nivolumab plus ipilimumab and bevacizumab, achieving complete remission (CR) of pulmonary lesions and partial response (PR) in hepatic lesions. Subsequent surgical resection of the residual liver tumor and postoperative adjuvant therapy resulted in favorable long-term outcomes. Conclusion: Our study reports the first case that systematic therapy achieved successful conversion therapy in an unresectable sdpHCC-ICC. Combination immunotherapy might represent a promising therapeutic strategy for sdpHCC-ICC, warranting further validation.
