Tumor DNA as a Cancer Biomarker through the Lens of Colorectal Neoplasia.
Article in Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Biomarkers have a wide range of applications in the clinical management of cancer, including screening and therapeutic management. Tumor DNA released from neoplastic cells has become a particularly active area of cancer biomarker development due to the critical role somatic alterations play in the pathophysiology of cancer and the ability to assess released tumor DNA in accessible clinical samples, in particular blood (i.e., liquid biopsy). Many of the early applications of tumor DNA as a biomarker were pioneered in colorectal cancer due to its well-defined genetics and common occurrence, the effectiveness of early detection, and the availability of effective therapeutic options. Herein, in the context of colorectal cancer, we describe how the intended clinical application dictates desired biomarker test performance, how features of tumor DNA provide unique challenges and opportunities for biomarker development, and conclude with specific examples of clinical application of tumor DNA as a biomarker with particular emphasis on early detection.
