Aneuploid subtypes of circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor-derived endothelial cells predict the overall survival of advanced lung cancer.

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
Objective: This study aimed to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor-derived endothelial cells (CTECs) in patients with advanced lung cancer, for describing the distribution characteristics of CTC and CTEC subtypes, exploring the correlation between CTC/CTEC subtypes and novel prognostic biomarkers. Methods: A total of 52 patients with advanced lung cancer were enrolled in this study. Using the subtraction enrichment-immunofluorescence Results: Based on cell size, there were 49.3% small and 50.7% large CTCs, and 23.0% small and 77.0% large CTECs. Triploidy, tetraploidy, and multiploidy varied in the small and large CTCs/CTECs. Besides these three aneuploid subtypes, monoploidy was found in the small and large CTECs. Triploid and multiploid small CTCs and tetraploid large CTCs were associated with shorter overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced lung cancer. However, none of the CTECs subtypes showed a significant correlation with patient prognosis. In addition, we found strong positive correlations (P<0.0001) in the four groups including triploid small cell size CTCs and multiploid small cell size CTECs, and multiploid small cell size CTCs and monoploid small cell size CTECs. Furthermore, combined detection of the specific subtypes, including triploid small CTC and monoploid small CTEC, triploid small CTC and triploid small CTEC, and multiploid small CTC and monoploid small CTEC, were associated with poor prognosis in advanced lung cancer. Conclusions: Aneuploid small CTCs are associated with the outcome of patients with advanced lung cancer. In particular, the combined detection of triploid small CTCs and monoploid small CTECs, triploid small CTCs and triploid small CTECs, and multiploid small CTCs and monoploid small CTECs has clinical significance for predicting prognosis in patients with advanced lung cancer.
