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

backgroundThe recent advancement in massively parallel sequencing technologies has empowered liquid biopsies, in particular circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis, to be the new paradigm in personalized cancer management. Plasma ctDNA detection overcomes the current limitations in tumor tissue procurement and serves as a convenient and non-invasive method to capture tumor heterogeneity and genetic evolution along patients' cancer journey. In breast cancer, the current clinical application of ctDNA includes real-time monitoring of tumor response, detection of drug-resistant clones, assessing dynamic variations in tumor mutational landscape, identifying actionable mutations, detecting minimal residual disease and screening of early tumor. PURPOSE: This review aims to summarize the current clinical evidence of ctDNA application in the management of breast cancer.
