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

Gynaecological cancers, including endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancers as well as breast cancer, despite numerous studies, still constitute a challenge for modern oncology. For this reason, research aimed at the application of modern diagnostic methods that are useful in early detection, prognosis, and treatment monitoring deserves special attention, Great hopes are currently being placed on the use of liquid biopsy (LB), which examines various tumour components, including cell-free RNA (cfRNA), circulating tumour cells (CTCs), circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), exosomes, and tumour-educated platelets (TEPs). LB has shown promise as a minimally invasive means of early diagnosis of cancers, detection of recurrence, prediction of therapy response, treatment monitoring, and drug selection. The integration of this test into clinical practice in modern oncology is challenging, but offers many benefits, including reducing the risks associated with invasive procedures, improving diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy, and improving the quality of life of oncology patients. The aim of this review is to present recent reports on the use of ctDNA in diagnosing, predicting the outcome of, and monitoring the treatment of gynaecological and breast cancers.
