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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has the highest morbidity and mortality worldwide among malignant tumors. NSCLC is a great threat to health and well-being. Biopsy is the gold standard to diagnose lung cancer, but traditional biopsy methods cannot fully reflect the true condition of tumors. There is growing evidence that a single-point biopsy fails to reveal the complete landscape of the tumor due to intratumor heterogeneity, but it is impractical to complete multiple biopsies that are separated both spatially and temporally. Liquid biopsy heralds that a new era is coming. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are tumor cells that circulate in the peripheral blood after being shed from primary or metastatic tumors. CTCs constitute a considerable portion of a liquid biopsy, which contributes to the diagnosis, assessment of prognosis, and therapy of NSCLC. Herein, this review discusses the technologies for detection and enrichment of CTCs as well as clinical applications involving CTCs.
