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

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are linked to cancer progression and poor prognosis, offering valuable genetic insights into tumors. Accurate detection of genomic alterations in CTCs is essential for improving cancer diagnosis and treatment. To address this, we develop Uniform Chromosome Conformation Capture (Uni-C), a method for profiling 3D chromatin architecture and genomic alterations at the single-cell level. Using Uni-C, we analyze CTCs from pancreatic cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and spontaneous tumor mouse models. In the PDX model, integrating data from seven CTCs captures 88.7% of SNPs and INDELs, and 75.0% of structural variants present in tumor tissue. These findings indicate that variants detected in CTCs reflect tumor genomic features. Notably, we observe chromatin conformation differences between mitotic and interphase CTCs, suggesting potential markers of cell vitality. In the spontaneous tumor model, we identify driver gene mutations in CTCs and predict neoantigens, advancing early cancer detection and treatment strategies.
