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

Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly occurring type of cancer in women, being a major cancer-related cause of mortality worldwide. With the advancement in current therapeutic options, including hormone therapy and targeted therapies, there is a need for more accurate and less invasive options to monitor cancer progression in patients. Liquid biopsy has evolved rapidly, being able to detect small quantities of nucleic acids or cell-free DNA in the blood of BC patients. This method addresses three major issues of needle biopsy: firstly, it is more permissive by being less invasive and does not require needling the organs; secondly, it covers for the heterogeneous nature of the tumor of origin, which could lead to an otherwise inaccurate representation of the cancer-driving mutations; thirdly, it better represents the type of tumor that the primary tumor is going to evolve into before it starts to metastasize. This current review will address the current advancements in liquid biopsy in the context of BC, highlighting the pros and challenges.
