Validation of the predictive ability for recurrence and the clinical utility of the 95-gene classifier (95GC) through an integrated analysis of five studies.

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
backgroundIn recent years, multigene assays have become indispensable tools for predicting the recurrence risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early-stage breast cancer and guiding adjuvant chemotherapy decisions. Curebest™ 95GC Breast (95GC), developed in 2011 as a domestically produced multigene assay for postoperative recurrence prediction, has been commercially available since 2013. Since 2021, five validation studies evaluating the predictive performance 95GC have been published. This study presents an integrated analysis of these studies to validate the prognostic utility of 95GC further.
methodsThe integrated analysis included 719 real-world cases of luminal-type node-negative breast cancer patients who underwent adjuvant hormone therapy alone without extended endocrine treatment. In addition, an expanded cohort incorporating 294 cases from Western patients within the GEO public database was analyzed, resulting in a total of 1013 cases.
resultsAmong the 719 real-world cases, 550 (76.5%) were classified into the 95GC Low-risk group, demonstrating a significantly superior prognosis compared to the High-risk group (P < 1.00e-12). The 5-year distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) rate in the Low-risk group was approximately 98%, with consistent findings observed in the expanded cohort. Furthermore, an analysis of 754 CEL files using 21GC (a proxy for Oncotype DX®) identified 318 cases (42.2%) as the 21GC intermediate risk. 95GC successfully stratified these cases into two prognostically distinct subgroups.
conclusionsThese findings underscore the clinical utility of 95GC in safely omitting chemotherapy for Low-risk patients with good prognosis and in further stratifying the 21GC Intermediate-risk cases, thereby contributing to personalized treatment strategies.
