Liquid Biopsy in Neuropsychiatric Disorders: A Step Closer to Precision Medicine.
Review in Molecular neurobiology, 2025. 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
Psychiatric disorders are among the leading causes of disease burden worldwide. Despite their significant impact, their diagnosis remains challenging due to symptom heterogeneity, psychiatric comorbidity, and the lack of objective diagnostic tests and well-defined biomarkers. Leveraging genomic, epigenomic, and fragmentomic technologies, circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA)-based liquid biopsies have emerged as a potential non-invasive diagnosis and disease-monitoring tool. ccfDNA is a DNA species released into circulation from all types of cells through passive and active mechanisms and can serve as a biomarker for various diseases, namely, cancer. Despite their potential, the application of ccfDNA in neuropsychiatry remains underdeveloped. In this review, we provide an overview of liquid biopsies and their components, with a particular focus on ccfDNA. With a summary of pre-analytical practices and current ccfDNA technologies, we highlight the current state of research regarding the use of ccfDNA as a biomarker for neuropsychiatric disorders. Finally, we discuss future steps to unlock ccfDNA's potential in clinical practice.
