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

Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignancies with a high mortality rate. Detection of circulating tumor-derived material, such as circulating RNA in the peripheral blood of patients, has shown to be useful in diagnosis, prediction of prognosis and disease monitoring in several malignancies. This systematic review aims to probe the existing methods for detecting circulating tumor-derived RNAs from patients affected by sarcoma and their possible clinical application. A systematic review of the literature indexed in PubMed was performed. Each article had to analyze circulating RNA in human specimens obtained from liquid biopsies of patients affected by sarcoma. A total of 26 articles were included. We evaluated 1381 patients; 72% were affected by bone sarcoma and 28% by soft tissue sarcoma. By PCR-based methods, all the studies investigated circulating tumor RNA, mostly in the peripheral blood. Nearly half of the authors investigated the tumor expression and/or release of miRNA (42%). Several authors pointed out that circulating tumor-derived RNA has proven to have potential application in a clinical setting for sarcomas. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review in the literature to attempt to put together data specifically on ctRNA in patients affected by sarcoma.
