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

Background: Liquid biopsy assays are an important tool for non-invasive detection of genetic alterations, providing an effective alternative to traditional tissue biopsies. The study aimed to investigate the utility of ctDNA based next generation sequencing for clinical management of lung cancer patients from India. Methods: We conducted ctDNA targeted sequencing on 425 lung cancer patients from India using 50 gene oncomine precision assay. The assay was validated employing 7 controls and 77 clinical samples, and the performance of the assay was evaluated. The concordance analysis with matched tissue biopsy samples was performed on 162 cases. Results: Among the 425 lung cancer samples, 47 % harbored at least one mutation. Conclusion: The ctDNA assay demonstrates high accuracy and specificity, for both prevalent and rare genetic alterations. While further advancements are needed to enhance sensitivity and routine clinical application, our ctDNA profiling assay offers a reliable alternative for detecting genetic alterations in lung cancer patients, with significant potential for clinical integration in the Indian healthcare context.
