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

Liquid biopsy is becoming a very popular sample obtaining procedure, replacing the invasive sampling methods for the diagnostic protocols. The advantages of this method include the possibility to isolate cell-free nucleic acids (cfNAs) for diagnostic or screening purposes. A comprehensive review combining all current and perspective applications of cell-free nucleic acids is missing. Published articles are dealing with one type of cfNAs, or discuss them from the perspective of single disorder. We collected here all known types of cfNAs which are known to be present in biological fluids and could be involved in further studies to find out the exact biological role of them in normal physiological and pathological conditions. Beyond doubt, cfNAs will have a tremendous effect in future screening, diagnosis, prognosis, follow-up and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and other diseases.
