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

Practical screening tools and ultrasensitive technologies can play pivotal roles in precision cancer profiling for early diagnosis at asymptomatic stages, as well as for monitoring prognosis, risk stratification, and disease recurrence. While a number of sensors and diagnostic tools continue to be developed for ultrasensitive detection and off-site analysis, there has been an increasing interest in point-of-care devices, particularly those that are mechanically flexible and potentially wearable by the patient. In this chapter, we present a critical insight into the integrated engineering approaches involved in such flexible systems. We consider various aspects in the design of flexible devices, the biomarkers of interest, and the different transduction mechanisms by which mechanically flexible devices can be used in the area of cancer monitoring. We then discuss the different types of flexible biosensing platforms that have been developed to date, including wearables on skin and on clothing, and exhaled breath and implantable sensors. Finally, we discuss the design challenges and future outlook in the development of flexible platforms that can provide comprehensive cancer biomarker panels for patients and clinicians.
