Review in Annals of oncology : official journal of the European Society for Medical Oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT04466267 (The Molecular Mechanism of RAS Wild-type Metastatic Colorectal Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Current trajectory of clinical care is heading in the direction of personalized medicine. In an ideal scenario, clinicians can obtain extensive diagnostic and prognostic information via minimally-invasive assays. Information available in the peripheral blood has the potential to bring us closer to this goal. In this review we highlight the contributions of circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA and RNA (ctDNA/ctRNA) towards cancer therapeutic field. We discuss clinical relevance, summarize available and upcoming technologies, and hypothesize how future care could be impacted by a combined study.
