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

Liquid biopsy is a technology that exhibits potential to detect cancer early, monitor therapies, and predict cancer prognosis due to its unique characteristics, including noninvasive sampling and real-time analysis. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are two important components of circulating targets, carrying substantial disease-related molecular information and playing a key role in liquid biopsy. Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides with superior affinity and specificity, and they can bind to targets by folding into unique tertiary structures. Aptamer-based microfluidic platforms offer new ways to enhance the purity and capture efficiency of CTCs and EVs by combining the advantages of microfluidic chips as isolation platforms and aptamers as recognition tools. In this review, we first briefly introduce some new strategies for aptamer discovery based on traditional and aptamer-based microfluidic approaches. Then, we subsequently summarize the progress of aptamer-based microfluidics for CTC and EV detection. Finally, we offer an outlook on the future directional challenges of aptamer-based microfluidics for circulating targets in clinical applications.
