Microsatellite Instable Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Diagnostics: The Advent of Liquid Biopsy Approaches.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The introduction of immunotherapy has revolutionized the oncological targeted therapy paradigm. Microsatellite instability (MSI) identifies a subgroup of colorectal cancers (CRCs) which respond to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Tissue biopsy is currently the gold standard for the assessment of MSI/Mismatch Repair deficiency (MMRd) by means immunohistochemistry or molecular assays. However, the application of liquid biopsy in the clinic may help to overcome several limitations of tissue analysis and may provide great benefit to the diagnostic scenario and therapeutic decision-making process. In the context of MSI/MMRd CRC, the use of liquid biopsy may allow to establish MSI/MMR status if tissue sampling cannot be performed or in case of discordant tissue biopsies. Liquid biopsy may also become a powerful tool to monitor treatment response and the onset resistance to immunotherapy over time and to stratify of MSI/MMRd patients according to their risk of relapse and metastases. The aim of this review is to summarize the main technical aspects and clinical applications, the benefits, and limitations of the use of liquid biopsy in MSI/MMRd colorectal cancer patients.
