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

Lung cancer (LC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Liquid biopsy offers an accurate and non-invasive screening approach for early detection of LC overcoming the limitations of the current recommended low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). In the current review, we summarized the latest advancements in liquid biopsy for LC screening, evaluating the biological relevance, predictive accuracy, and detection techniques associated with various biomarkers including circulating tumor DNA, proteins, and metabolites. We also addressed the unresolved questions of how to integrate liquid biopsy into routine clinical practice to improve LC outcomes by cost-effective analysis. It is hoped that this study can shed light upon the future development of LC screening methods and provide insights for the potential integration of liquid biopsy into the current clinical practice.
