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: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis that is tumor-informed and personalized requires high-quality tissue specimens, which are unavailable in certain clinical contexts and pathology practice in Southeast Asia. Objectives: We aimed to develop and clinically validate an alternative tumor-naïve ctDNA assay. Design: A retrospective observational study. Methods: Our tumor-naïve multimodal profiling integrated mutation detection, using both amplicon and hybridization sequencing, with analysis of copy number alteration (CNA) and fragmentomics of cfDNA. We analyzed blood samples of 948 cancer patients and 566 non-cancer donors enrolled in previous studies to evaluate the analytical performance of ctDNA detection. Clinical performance was assessed using post-surgical samples of 97 breast cancer and 51 colorectal cancer patients to compare tumor-naïve ctDNA status with clinical recurrence. The performance was directly compared with the tumor-informed method using identical samples. Results: For mutations, a combination of amplicon and hybridization sequencing provided higher sensitivity and broader coverage of mutation detection than single methods. Variants of clonal hematopoiesis of intermediate potential were common, mainly in the Conclusion: The tumor-naïve method could be a reliable alternative to monitor ctDNA when obtaining high-quality tissue samples is challenging. The performance of this method was better in high ctDNA-shedding cancer or at the metastatic stage.
