MRI-Based Model for Personalizing Neoadjuvant Treatment in Breast Cancer.

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
backgroundFunctional tumor volume (FTV), measured from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, is an imaging biomarker that can predict treatment response in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The FTV-based predictive model, combined with core biopsy, informed treatment decisions of recommending patients with excellent responses to proceed to surgery early in a large NAC clinical trial.
methodsIn this retrospective study, we constructed models using FTV measurements. We analyzed performance tradeoffs when a probability threshold was used to identify excellent responders through the prediction of pathology complete response (pCR). Individual models were developed within cohorts defined by the hormone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HR/HER2) subtype.
resultsA total of 814 patients enrolled in the I-SPY 2 trial between 2010 and 2016 were included with a mean age of 49 years (range: 24 to 77). Among these patients, 289 (36%) achieved pCR. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) ranged from 0.68 to 0.74 for individual HR/HER2 subtypes. When probability thresholds were chosen based on minimum positive predictive value (PPV) levels of 50%, 70%, and 90%, the PPV-sensitivity tradeoff varied among subtypes. The highest sensitivities (100%, 87%, 45%) were found in the HR-/HER2+ sub-cohort for probability thresholds of 0, 0.62, and 0.72; followed by the triple-negative sub-cohort (98%, 52%, 4%) at thresholds of 0.13, 0.58, and 0.67; and HR+/HER2+ (78%, 16%, 8%) at thresholds of 0.34, 0.57, and 0.60. The lowest sensitivities (20%, 0%, 0%) occurred in the HR+/HER2- sub-cohort.
conclusionsPredictive models developed using imaging biomarkers, alongside clinically validated probability thresholds, can be incorporated into decision-making for precision oncology.
