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

Major advances in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients have been obtained during the last decade. Molecular testing of tumor samples is therefore mandatory in routine clinical practice. Tumor DNA is also present as cell-free molecules in blood, which is therefore a very useful and convenient source of tumor DNA. In this review, we discuss pre-analytical and analytical aspects of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis. We also describe the use of ctDNA analysis in routine clinical practice, and discuss the potential use of ctDNA monitoring both to identify minimal residual disease and as a potential tool to early identify patients' response to treatment.
