Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts in the Treatment of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: Present and Prospects.
Review in Journal of hepatocellular carcinoma, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare, highly malignant, and heterogeneous group of primary hepatic adenocarcinomas that differs distinctly from conventional hepatocellular carcinoma. A specific cell population plays a crucial role in ICC named cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs are involved in the connective tissue proliferative response in ICC, and this response manifests as a dense, fibrocollagen-rich tumor stroma. Thus, although chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the primary approaches to improve survival rates in patients with ICC, the presence of CAFs still render many patients refractory to these therapies. In this article, we explored the complex disease process of ICC in depth, reviewed the origin, heterogeneity, and function of CAFs, and focused on how CAFs subpopulations could be used as biomarkers and contribute to ICC treatment resistance. We also described current breakthroughs in targeting CAFs to overcome cancer treatment resistance and discussed emerging targeted therapies for CAFs. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances and breakthrough directions in ICC treatment, hoping to offer new insights for future research and clinical practice.
