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

Disseminated tumor cells (DTC) are routinely detected in bone marrow (BM) in 30-40 % of primary breast cancer patients. Positive BM status at the time of diagnosis as well as DTC persistence after therapy are strong independent prognostic factors. Since repeated BM aspirations are not well tolerated, detection of single tumor cells in peripheral blood (circulating tumor cells; CTC) have become of interest in recent years. CTC are found in 10-80 % breast cancer patients. Variability can be explained by stage of the disease and detection method. Emerging data have shown CTC to be of prognostic relevance for both, patients with primary and metastatic disease. The assessment of CTC in blood may become an important biomarker for prognostication and therapy monitoring. Determination of their molecular characteristics will enable specific targeting of minimal residual as well as metastatic disease. This review summarizes recent research and future perspectives.
