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

Stage IV colorectal cancer treatment includes targeted therapy depending on RAS status. During disease progression, loss or gain of RAS mutations could happen, supporting the hypothesis of the evolutionary pressure of therapy. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) are nucleic acids released to the bloodstream by the tumor during its development and may be detected by liquid biopsy. The Idylla© Biocartis, a fully automated real-time-PCR-based molecular diagnostic system, was used in a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer with a NRAS mutation in progression after several therapeutic lines. The ctDNA mutational analysis was performed and revealed the absence of mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF genes. The patient started the third line of palliative chemotherapy with irinotecan + cetuximab and achieved a partial response for the first time. The authors describe a case in which liquid biopsy determined the higher progression-free survival achieved.
