Treatment Response Monitoring Using a Tumor-Informed Circulating Tumor DNA Test in an Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly aggressive disease that is often refractory to surgery and multiple lines of therapy. Although the repertoire of FDA-approved treatments has expanded, there is an unmet need for biomarkers that can aid in appropriate selection and timing of therapy. We present a case of highly aggressive treatment-resistant TNBC that employed a comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP)-based assay to identify therapeutic targets, followed by longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing. For this, a tumor-naïve next-generation sequencing-based targeted panel was used to aid in therapy selection, along with longitudinal personalized and tumor-informed ctDNA testing to monitor tumor response to treatment. Longitudinal ctDNA testing using the tumor-informed assay detected post-surgical molecular residual disease, and rise in ctDNA levels during the surveillance period provided rationale for switching between four lines of therapy. Overall, the combined use of CGP assay with longitudinal ctDNA testing resulted in a potential prolonged survival in this highly aggressive case of TNBC.
