Extrachromosomal DNA in urothelial carcinoma: mechanisms and clinical applications.
Review in Nature reviews. Urology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) has emerged as a major driver of genomic instability and rapid tumour evolution in urothelial carcinoma. In urothelial carcinoma, ecDNA amplifies oncogenes, reshapes 3D chromatin interactions, reprogrammes transcription and modulates the tumour-immune interface. Together, these features fuel intratumour heterogeneity, accelerate APOBEC3-associated mutational evolution and contribute to aggressive disease. Advances in sequencing and imaging technologies have greatly expanded our understanding of ecDNA biology. Importantly, ecDNA can be detected through non-invasive liquid biopsies, including urine and plasma, and inferred from standard histopathology slides via digital pathology. These observations suggest that ecDNA could be a valuable adjunct biomarker, enhancing current strategies for early detection, patient stratification and dynamic monitoring of treatment response.
