Improving Cancer Detection and Treatment with Liquid Biopsies and ptDNA.
Review in Trends in cancer, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Liquid biopsy, or the capacity to noninvasively isolate and analyze plasma tumor DNA (ptDNA) using blood samples, represents an important tool for modern oncology that enables increasingly safe, personalized, and robust cancer diagnosis and treatment. Here, we review advances in the development and implementation of liquid biopsy approaches, and we focus on the capacity of liquid biopsy to noninvasively detect oncological disease and enhance early detection strategies. In addition to noting the distinctions between mutation-targeted and mutation-agnostic approaches, we discuss the potential for genomic analysis and longitudinal testing to identify somatic lesions early and to guide intervention at more manageable disease stages.
