Peripheral Blood Monocyte Abundance Predicts Outcomes in Patients with Breast Cancer.
Article in Cancer research communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Biomarkers of response are needed in breast cancer to stratify patients to appropriate therapies and avoid unnecessary toxicity. We used peripheral blood gene expression and cell type abundance to identify biomarkers of response and recurrence in neoadjuvant chemotherapy treated breast cancer patients. We identified a signature of interferon and complement response that was higher in the blood of patients with pathologic complete response. This signature was preferentially expressed by monocytes in single cell RNA sequencing. Monocytes are routinely measured clinically, enabling examination of clinically measured monocytes in multiple independent cohorts. We found that peripheral monocytes were higher in patients with good outcomes in four cohorts of breast cancer patients. Blood gene expression and cell type abundance biomarkers may be useful for prognostication in breast cancer. Significance: Biomarkers are needed in breast cancer to identify patients at risk for recurrence. Blood is an attractive site for biomarker identification due to the relative ease of longitudinal sampling. Our study suggests that blood-based gene expression and cell type abundance biomarkers may have clinical utility in breast cancer.
