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

backgroundLung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, due to lacking effective early-stage screening approaches. Imaging, such as low-dose CT, poses radiation risk, and biopsies can induce some complications. Additionally, traditional serum tumor markers lack diagnostic specificity. This highlights the urgent need for precise and non-invasive early detection techniques. PURPOSE: This systematic review aims to evaluate the limitations of conventional screening methods (imaging/biopsy/tumor markers), seek breakthroughs in liquid biopsy for early lung cancer detection, and assess the potential value of Artificial Intelligence (AI), thereby providing evidence-based insights for establishing an optimal screening framework.

methodsWe systematically searched the PubMed database for the literature published up to May 2025. Key words include "Artificial Intelligence", "Early Lung cancer screening", "Imaging examination", "Innovative technologies", "Liquid biopsy", and "Puncture biopsy". Our inclusion criteria focused on studies about traditional and innovative screening methods, with an emphasis on original research concerning diagnostic performance or high-quality reviews. This approach helps identify critical studies in early lung cancer screening.

conclusionsNovel liquid biopsy techniques are non-invasive and have superior diagnostic efficacy. AI-assisted diagnostics further enhance accuracy. We propose three development directions: establishing risk-based liquid biopsy screening protocols, developing a stepwise "imaging-AI-liquid biopsy" diagnostic workflow, and creating standardized biomarker panel testing solutions. Integrating traditional methodologies, novel liquid biopsies, and AI to establish a comprehensive early lung cancer screening model is important. These innovative strategies aim to significantly increase early detection rates, substantially enhancing lung cancer control. This review provides both theoretical guidance for clinical practice and future research.
