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

Liquid biopsy is classically defined as the detection of biomarkers in bodily fluids. One of these biomarkers can be circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) released by healthy or cancer cells during apoptosis. These fragments can be quantified and molecularly characterized by techniques like digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) or next-generation sequencing (NGS). By identifying common genetic and epigenetic alterations associated with specific cancer types, cfDNA or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can serve as robust biomarkers for monitoring tumor initiation and progression. Other biomarkers, such as circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), extracellular vesicles, or circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are also applied in this context. Liquid biopsy has gained attention as a versatile tool for cancer diagnostics, prognosis, therapeutic monitoring, and minimal residual disease (MRD) detection across various malignancies, including hematological cancers like myeloid and lymphoid leukemias. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of liquid biopsy usage in leukemia, with a specific focus on the clinical utility of ctDNA, miRNAs, and exosomes in monitoring treatment response, tracking clonal evolution, and detecting minimal residual disease. Our review emphasizes the translational implications of these tools for improving patient outcomes and outlines current challenges in their integration into clinical practice.
