Review in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Prostate cancer (PC) remains the most common malignancy and the second most common cause of cancer death in men. As a result of highly variable biological behavior and development of resistance to available agents under therapeutic pressure, optimal management is often unclear. Traditional surgical biopsies, even when augmented by genomic studies, may fail to provide adequate guidance for clinical decisions as these can only provide a snapshot of a dynamic process. Additionally, surgical biopsies are cumbersome to perform repeatedly and often involve risk. Liquid biopsies (LB) are defined as the analysis of either corpuscular (circulating tumor cells, extracellular vesicles) or molecular (circulating DNA or RNA) tumor-derived material. LB could more precisely identify clinically relevant alterations that characterize the metastatic potential of tumors, predict response to specific treatments or actively monitor for the emergence of resistance. These tests can potentially be repeated as often as deemed necessary and can detect real-time response to treatment with minimal inconvenience to the patient. In the current review, we consider common clinical scenarios to describe available LB assays in PC as a platform to explore existing evidence for their use in guiding decision making and to discuss current limitations to their adoption in the clinic.
