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

The growing role of precision medicine in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is expected to ameliorate the poor prognosis and high mortality of this highly malignant disease; however, it is faced with challenges such as the low frequency of tissue biopsy. Hence, attention is turning to the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), an important component of liquid biopsy. Obtaining molecular information about cancer from blood provides a good prospect in precision oncology including molecular diagnosis, molecular classification, targeted therapy, personalized decision making, and detection of drug-resistance mutations. However, inherent constraints of HCC and ctDNA (like background chronic liver diseases (CLD) and low concentration of ctDNA) along with some technical issues should be well handled and solved before the potential of ctDNA in precision medicine of HCC can be truly realized. In this review, we will focus on the prospects and challenges of ctDNA in HCC precision medicine.
