[Liquid biopsy-a possible key player in immuno-oncology].
Review in HNO, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundClinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), whether as monotherapy or in combination with established methods, is revolutionizing treatment of head and neck cancer. However, this change in therapeutic concepts requires reevaluation and further development of predictive and prognostic markers, since the survival rates for advanced and particularly human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative disease remain poor. MATERIALS AND
methodsA selective literature review was performed in PubMed. Literature found with the keywords "cytodiagnostics, circulating tumor cells, liquid biopsy, cfDNA, exosomes" in combination with "head and neck cancer" and/or "immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy" published until March 2020 was included. The articles were selected for their relevance for the current study by the authors.
resultsThis work provides a review of the current literature and indicates possible applications in the field of head and neck cancers. Liquid biopsy refers to the analysis of circulating tumor cells or of tumor genetic material in body fluids. This minimally invasive analysis can support therapeutic decisions and enable a personalized approach to treating head and neck cancer. DISCUSSION: Before any of these approaches can be established in clinical routine, long-term data and standardization of the methods for isolating and analyzing the markers are needed.
