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

purposeMolecular response (MR) based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is emerging as a promising early biomarker of treatment efficacy in solid tumors; however, its clinical utility in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) remains to be established. This study evaluates the potential predictive value of ctDNA-based MR in with patients HGSOC treated with the WEE1 inhibitor azenosertib.

methodsPlasma cell-free DNA was collected at baseline and after the first and/or second cycle of treatment from 123 patients with recurrent HGSOC enrolled in clinical trials of azenosertib (N = 123). Using the set samples evaluable by high throughput DNA sequencing, MR was defined as a reduction of

resultsMolecular responders showed a higher objective response rate (

conclusionOur findings support the validity and potential clinical utility of ctDNA-based MR as a minimally invasive, rapid, and reliable early surrogate end point in HGSOC.
