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 study of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and other peripheral blood components (known as "liquid biopsies") is promising, and has been investigated especially in solid tumors. Nevertheless, it is increasingly showing a greater utility in the diagnosis, prognosis, and response to treatment of hematological malignancies; in the future, it could prevent invasive techniques, such as bone marrow (BM) biopsies. Most of the studies about this topic have focused on B-cell lymphoid malignancies; some of them have shown that cfDNA can be used as a novel way for the diagnosis and minimal residual monitoring of B-cell lymphomas, using techniques such as next-generation sequencing (NGS). In myelodysplastic syndromes, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, liquid biopsies may allow for an interesting genomic representation of the tumor clones affecting different lesions (spatial heterogeneity). In acute leukemias, it can be helpful in the monitoring of the early treatment response and the prediction of treatment failure. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the evaluation of cfDNA permits the definition of clonal evolution and drug resistance in real time. However, there are limitations, such as the difficulty in obtaining sufficient circulating tumor DNA for achieving a high sensitivity to assess the minimal residual disease, or the lack of standardization of the method, and clinical studies, to confirm its prognostic impact. This review focuses on the clinical applications of cfDNA on the minimal residual disease in hematological malignancies.
