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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. While target therapies have changed the outcomes of patients harboring actionable mutations, resistance inevitably emerges. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a minimally invasive tool for capturing tumor evolution in real time. This approach enables the rapid detection of resistance mechanisms, complements or substitutes for tissue re-biopsy, and reduces the burden of invasive procedures for patients. In this review, we summarize the current evidence on the use of liquid biopsy to uncover resistance mechanisms in patients progressing on targeted therapies, with a focus on its role in dynamic tumor profiling and longitudinal disease monitoring.
