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

backgroundLiquid biopsy is a promising new diagnostic tool that is already used in clinical practice for multiple tumor entities and which also has great potential for head and neck cancer. Herein, the authors discuss a selection of publications from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) meetings in 2022.

objectiveRelevant publications are evaluated and summarized.

methodsUsing a databank inquiry, abstracts from the 2022 ASCO and ESMO conferences regarding liquid biopsy and related diagnostics for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were collected. Work without relevant data and statements of intent were not included. Duplicate articles across conferences were only quoted once. A total of 532 articles were screened, 50 articles were selected for further review, and 9 articles were selected for presentation.

resultsSix articles on cell- and RNA-based liquid biopsy and three articles on more general diagnostic tools in the treatment of head and neck cancer are presented. The results are discussed in relation to current treatment standards.

conclusionMultiple studies show promising results for the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for treatment surveillance in head and neck cancer. Integration into clinical practice will depend on larger study cohorts and sinking costs.
