A novel twelve-gene signature to predict neoadjuvant chemotherapy response and prognosis in breast cancer.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Accurate evaluation of the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) provides important information about systemic therapies for breast cancer, which implies pharmacological response, prognosis, and guide further therapy. Gene profiles overcome the shortcomings of the relatively limited detection indicators of the classical pathological evaluation criteria and the subjectivity of observation, but are complicated and expensive. Therefore, it is essential to develop a more accurate, repeatable, and economical evaluation approach for neoadjuvant chemotherapy responses. Methods: We analyzed the transcriptional profiles of chemo-resistant breast cancer cell lines and tumors of chemo-resistant breast cancer patients in the GSE25066 dataset. We preliminarily screened out common significantly differentially expressed genes and constructed a NAC response risk model using LASSO regression and univariate and multivariate analyses. The differences in bioinformatic features of tumor cells, immune characteristics, and prognosis were compared between high and low-risk group. The potential drugs that could reverse chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer were screened by the CMap database. Results: Thirty-six genes were commonly up/down-regulated in both NAC chemo-resistant tumors and cells compared to the sensitive tumors and wild-type cells. Through LASSO regression, we obtained a risk model composed of 12 genes. The risk model divided patients into high and low-risk groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses suggested that the risk score is an independent prognostic factor for evaluating NAC response in breast cancer. Tumors in risk groups exhibited significant differences in molecular biological characteristics, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and immunosuppressive molecule expression. Our results suggested that the risk score was also a good prognostic factor for breast cancer. Finally, we screened potential drugs that could reverse chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer. Conclusion: A novel 12 gene-signature could be used to predict NAC response and predict prognosis in breast cancer.
