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

aimsThe use of circulating cell-free DNA for detection of cancer genetics has been studied extensively. Liquid biopsy often refers to the use of blood as a minimally invasive source of body fluid for detecting circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). However, urine collection, which is completely noninvasive, has been shown to also have great promise to serve as an alternate body fluid source for ctDNA. In this review article, we focus on the clinical utility of urine for genetic liquid biopsy of nonurological cancers.

conclusionAlthough still in early stages as compared with blood-based liquid biopsy, recent studies have demonstrated the value of urine-based liquid biopsies for: nonurological cancer screening; early detection; monitoring for recurrence and metastasis; and therapeutic efficacy. Overall, the completely noninvasive and patient-friendly nature of the urine-based biopsy warrants further development and offers a promising alternative to blood-based biopsies.
