Using Oncotype DX breast recurrence score® assay to define the role of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy in early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
Trial report in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe role of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy in the treatment of patients with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive (HR +) breast cancer is not well defined. Tools to better determine which patients may benefit from neoadjuvant endocrine therapy versus chemotherapy or upfront surgery remain an unmet need.
methodsWe assessed the rate of clinical and pathologic complete response (cCR, pCR) among a pooled cohort of patients with early-stage HR + breast cancer who had been randomized to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy in two earlier studies to understand better how outcomes varied by Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® assay.
resultsWe observed that patients with intermediate RS results had no statistically significant differences in pathologic outcomes at the time of surgery based on whether they received neoadjuvant endocrine therapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy, suggesting that a subgroup of women with a RS 0-25 may omit chemotherapy without compromising outcomes.
conclusionThese data suggest that Recurrence Score® (RS) results may serve as a useful tool in treatment decision-making in the neoadjuvant setting.
