Circulating Tumor Cells as a Tool of Minimal Residual Disease Can Predict Lung Cancer Recurrence: A longitudinal, Prospective Trial.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06262386 (Utilizing Perioperative Variation Trends of Circulating Tumor Cells and Tumor Pathological Characteristics as a Combined Relapse Prediction Model for Resectable Non-Small Cell Patients - a Prospective Clinical Feasibility Trial), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe role of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for predicting the recurrence of cancer in lung cancer patients after surgery remains unclear.
methodsA negatively selected protocol of CTC identification was applied. For all the enrolled patients, CTC testing was performed before and after surgery on the operation day (day 0), postoperative day 1, and day 3. The daily decline and trend of CTCs were analyzed to correlate with cancer relapse. The mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusted by cancer characteristics was applied for statistical significance.
resultsFifty patients with lung mass undergoing surgery were enrolled. Among 41 primary lung cancers, 26 (63.4%) were pathological stage Tis and I. A total of 200 CTC tests were performed. MMRM analysis indicated that surgery could contribute to a CTC decline after surgery in all patients with statistical significance (
conclusionCTC testing can potentially serve as a tool for minimal residual disease detection in early-staged lung cancer after curative surgery.
