Multiplex protein detection on circulating tumor cells from liquid biopsies using imaging mass cytometry.
Article in Convergent science physical oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 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
Molecular analysis of circulating and disseminated tumor cells (CTCs/DTCs) has great potential as a means for continuous evaluation of prognosis and treatment efficacy in near-real time through minimally invasive liquid biopsies. To realize this potential, however, methods for molecular analysis of these rare cells must be developed and validated. Here, we describe the integration of imaging mass cytometry (IMC) using metal-labeled antibodies as implemented on the Fluidigm Hyperion Imaging System into the workflow of the previously established High Definition Single Cell Analysis (HD-SCA) assay for liquid biopsies, along with methods for image analysis and signal normalization. Using liquid biopsies from a metastatic prostate cancer case, we demonstrate that IMC can extend the reach of CTC characterization to include dozens of protein biomarkers, with the potential to understand a range of biological properties that could affect therapeutic response, metastasis and immune surveillance when coupled with simultaneous phenotyping of thousands of leukocytes.
