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

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy worldwide. Due to the lack of effective screening and early detection strategies, many patients with OC are diagnosed with advanced disease, where treatment is rarely curative. Moreover, OC is characterized by high intratumor heterogeneity, which represents a major barrier to the development of effective treatments. Conventional tumor biopsy and blood-based biomarkers, such as cancer antigen 125 (CA125), have different limitations. Liquid biopsy has recently emerged as an attractive and promising area of investigation in oncology, due to its minimally invasive, safe, comprehensive, and real-time dynamic nature. Preliminary evidence suggests a potential role of liquid biopsy to refine OC management, by improving screening, early diagnosis, assessment of response to treatment, detection, and profiling of drug resistance. The current knowledge and the potential clinical value of liquid biopsy in OC is discussed in this review to provide an overview of the clinical settings in which its use might support and improve diagnosis and treatment.
