Circulating Tumour DNA for Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Monitoring: What Perspectives for Clinical Use?
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Globally, ovarian cancer (OC) is the eighth most common malignant tumour in women. Unfortunately, its symptoms-especially at the early stages-are vague and non-specific, and, thus, most patients are diagnosed at the advanced stages of the disease (stage III and IV) when treatment is not curative. The currently available approved biomarkers are not sufficient for effective screening, prognosis, or monitoring of OC. Liquid biopsy tests such as circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) analysis has the advantage of monitoring response to treatment in real time and providing a comprehensive genotypic profile of primary, metastatic, and recurrent tumours. Thus, ctDNA analysis can be used as a complementary test for effective diagnosis and monitoring of OC. We comprehensively review current studies (2019-2024) on OC, critically highlighting recent developments and applications of ctDNA for the diagnosis and management of the disease.
