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

Our understanding of the diagnostic and prognostic use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) has broadly expanded over the past few years. The utilization of ctDNA to detect minimal residual disease is currently being employed across the continuum of cancer care. The lead-time of ctDNA positivity to radiographic recurrence in stage I to III CRC is up to 9 months on average, which provides a therapeutic window for a group of high-risk patients who will ultimately recur. There are several ongoing prospective clinical trials that investigate whether ctDNA can be used as an integral biomarker to risk stratify CRC patients and guide adjuvant treatment decisions. In this review, we summarize the evidence supporting the promise of ctDNA-defined MRD in CRC and highlight the current ctDNA guided adjuvant prospective clinical trials.
