Exploring the utility of ctDNA testing in high-risk breast cancer patients in a community setting: case series.

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
Despite initial treatment, breast cancer recurrence affects approximately 30% of patients. Currently, there exists no standardized approach to detect recurrence before clinical or radiologic signs manifest. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a minimally invasive blood test that offers potential to monitor molecular disease and individualize care. This study explores the utility of ctDNA in recurrence monitoring and clinical decision-making for high-risk breast cancer cases within a community setting. Seventy-two patients with high-risk breast cancer features-defined as stage III disease, triple-negative or HR-/HER2+ following neoadjuvant treatment, metastatic breast cancer without evidence of disease, bilateral breast cancer history, high-risk genetics (BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations), <40 years old at diagnosis, or history of breast cancer recurrence-were offered tumor-informed ctDNA assays at 3- to 6-month intervals. Analysis was conducted on 67 cases with a mean diagnostic age of 52.69 at diagnosis. The cohort was ethnically diverse, including White (
