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 current standard of adjuvant therapies for patients with early stage non-small-cell lung cancers largely depends on the stage of disease. Liquid biopsy for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has the potential to detect minimal residual disease, depict genomic evolution, guide precision medicine to individual patients and revolutionize the management of early stage lung cancers. In light of the seminal work published by Abbosh and colleagues, we discuss the potential paradigm changing clinical implications of ctDNA, the biological and technological challenges to consider, and the future of ctDNA driven therapeutic studies.
