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 explosion of knowledge in cancer biology in the past two decades has led to the identification of specific molecular circuits in solid tumors. These pathways reflect specific abnormalities thought to drive malignant progression. This knowledge has also generated a vast panel of cancer biomarkers although many of these biomarkers lack sufficient research and validation to be used in the clinic. This Review discusses relevant molecular prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers in the six leading tumors with the highest contribution to cancer mortality: breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic and ovarian cancer. Each biomarker is described according to its associated clinicopathological presentation and specific associated molecular interactions. Despite only few biomarkers being currently implemented in clinical practice, a new generation of predictors is emerging that could modify the classic organ-based cancer classification (for example, defects in DNA repair, aberrant MAPK signaling and aberrant PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling). The advent of high-throughput strategies will also probably substitute monobiomarker strategies.
