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

Breast cancer is one of the common malignant tumors, and liquid biopsy has become a hot spot for clinical testing. To clarify the detection effect of liquid biopsy in breast cancer, we collected peripheral blood of HER2-positive (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive) patients. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were isolated and analyzed. HER2 expression on CTCs was detected. The results showed that in the 198 HER2-positive samples, the CTC detection rate was 79.8% (158/198), and the mean number of CTCs was 21, ranging from 1 to 63/7.5 mL peripheral blood. Only 41.1% (65/158) of patients had histology and CTC HER2 status consistent with the remaining 58.9% (93/158) of patients, although their histological HER2 was positive, and CTC HER2 was negative. Our study confirmed the value of CTC HER2 real-time status testing in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. The inconsistency in HER2 status between CTCs and histology may be related to the time interval between CTCs and histological HER2 detection, suggesting that real-time HER2 detection is necessary for histological HER2-positive patients.
