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

The cancer early-detection biomarker field was, compared with the therapeutic arena, in its infancy when the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) was initiated in 2000. The EDRN has played a crucial role in changing the culture and the ways people conduct biomarker studies. The EDRN proposed biomarker developmental guidelines and biomarker pivotal trial study design standards, created biomarker reference sets and functioned as an unbiased broker for the field, implemented the most rigorous blinding policy in the biomarker field, developed an array of statistical and computational tools for early-detection biomarker evaluations, and developed a multidisciplinary team-science approach. We reviewed these contributions made by the EDRN and their impacts on maturing the field. Future challenges and opportunities in cancer early-detection biomarker translational research are discussed, particularly in strengthening biomarker discovery pipeline and conducting more efficient biomarker validation studies.
