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

backgroundTechnology enabling the separation of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) provides the potential to enhance our knowledge of cancer metastasis and improve the care of cancer patients. Modern detection approaches commonly depend on tumor antigens or the physical size of CTCs. However, few studies report the detection of CTCs by the electrical differences between cancer cells and normal cells.

resultsIn this study, we report a procedure for capturing CTCs from blood samples using electrically charged superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NPs). We found that only positively charged NPs attached to cancer cells, while negatively charged NPs did not. The capture method with positively charged NPs offered a sensitivity of down to 4 CTCs in 1 mL blood samples and achieved a superior capture yield (> 70%) for a high number of CTCs in blood samples (10

conclusionsPositively charged NPs combined with an in vivo tumor model demonstrated that CTCs can be distinguished and isolated from other blood cells based on their electrical properties.
