The Predictive Utility of MammaPrint and BluePrint in Identifying Patients with Locally Advanced Breast Cancer Who are Most Likely to Have Nodal Downstaging and a Pathologic Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01501487 (MINT I Multi- Institutional Neo-adjuvant Therapy MammaPrint Project I), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundNeoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) increases the feasibility of surgical resection by downstaging large primary breast tumors and nodal involvement, which may result in surgical de-escalation and improved outcomes. This subanalysis from the Multi-Institutional Neo-adjuvant Therapy MammaPrint Project I (MINT) trial evaluated the association between MammaPrint and BluePrint with nodal downstaging. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe prospective MINT trial (NCT01501487) enrolled 387 patients between 2011 and 2016 aged ≥ 18 years with invasive breast cancer (T2-T4). This subanalysis includes 146 patients with stage II-III, lymph node positive, who received NCT. MammaPrint stratifies tumors as having a Low Risk or High Risk of distant metastasis. Together with MammaPrint, BluePrint genomically (g) categorizes tumors as gLuminal A, gLuminal B, gHER2, or gBasal.
resultsOverall, 45.2% (n = 66/146) of patients had complete nodal downstaging, of whom 60.6% (n = 40/66) achieved a pathologic complete response. MammaPrint and combined MammaPrint and BluePrint were significantly associated with nodal downstaging (p = 0.007 and p < 0.001, respectively). A greater proportion of patients with MammaPrint High Risk tumors had nodal downstaging compared with Low Risk (p = 0.007). When classified with MammaPrint and BluePrint, more patients with gLuminal B, gHER2, and gBasal tumors had nodal downstaging compared with HR+HER2-, gLuminal A tumors (p = 0.538, p < 0.001, and p = 0.013, respectively).
conclusionsPatients with genomically High Risk tumors, defined by MammaPrint with or without BluePrint, respond better to NCT and have a higher likelihood of nodal downstaging compared with patients with gLuminal A tumors. These genomic signatures can be used to select node-positive patients who are more likely to have nodal downstaging and avoid invasive surgical procedures.
