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
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the concordance of oncogenic driver mutations between tumor tissues and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with lung cancer. In addition, this study attempted to reveal the clinical utility of ctDNA in lung cancer treatment. Methods: Recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were prospectively enrolled in this study. Tumor tissue and serial blood samples were obtained from newly diagnosed patients (Cohort A) or patients treated with targeted therapy (Cohort B) and targeted gene panel sequencing was conducted to identify tumor mutational profiles. Results: At the time of diagnosis, patients in Cohort A with a high cell-free DNA (cfDNA) concentration had poorer overall survival than those with a low cfDNA concentration. The sensitivity and precision of ctDNA analysis in pre-treatment patients compared with those of tissue sequencing were 58.4% and 61.5%, respectively. Known lung cancer-associated variants of oncogenic driver genes, including Conclusions: ctDNA may be a reliable prognostic biomarker with an additional role in treating patients with lung cancer. Further analyses are necessary to understand the properties of ctDNA and widen its clinical use.
