The Role of the Liquid Biopsy in Decision-Making for Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Liquid biopsy is a rapidly emerging tool of precision oncology enabling minimally invasive molecular diagnostics and longitudinal monitoring of treatment response. For the clinical management of advanced stage lung cancer patients, detection and quantification of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is now widely adopted into clinical practice. Still, interpretation of results and validation of ctDNA-based treatment decisions remain challenging. We report here our experience implementing liquid biopsies into the clinical management of lung cancer. We discuss advantages and limitations of distinct ctDNA assay techniques and highlight our approach to the analysis of recurrent molecular alterations found in lung cancer. Moreover, we report three exemplary clinical cases illustrating the complexity of interpreting liquid biopsy results in clinical practice. These cases underscore the potential and current limitations of liquid biopsy, focusing on the difficulty of interpreting discordant findings. In our view, despite all current limitations, the analysis of ctDNA in lung cancer patients is an essential and highly versatile complementary diagnostic tool for the clinical management of lung cancer patients in the era of precision oncology.
