Predictive value of tumor microenvironment on pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas.
Observational study in Journal of hematology & oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02789384 (Prognostic Value of the CINSARC), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPS) represent a prevalent and aggressive subtype of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in adults. Despite advancements in loco regional treatments, many patients with high grade STS, including UPS, develop metastatic disease. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a standard approach to mitigate this risk, but response variability necessitates refined patient selection strategies. This study investigated the correlation between UPS microenvironment and neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in resectable UPS. The NEOSARCOMICS study (NCT02789384) enrolled patients with resectable STS from six sarcoma centers in France. Patients received anthracycline based chemotherapy, followed by surgery. Histological response, gene expression profiling, and multiplex immunohistofluorescence were performed on baseline and post treatment tumor samples. Plasma proteomics was analyzed to identify biomarkers. Good responders to neoadjuvant chemotherapy showed enrichment in genes related to stemness and cell cycle regulation, while poor responders exhibited immune related gene enrichment. Proteomic profiling revealed immune pathway activation and downregulation of cell cycle pathways in non responders. Despite being associated with a good prognosis, high immune infiltration, particularly of CD8 + T cells and CD20 + B cells, predicts a poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in UPS, suggesting the need for alternative therapeutic strategies for patients with inflamed UPS.Ongoing clinical trials are exploring the efficacy of combining chemotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors to improve outcomes.
