Personalized ctDNA detection and genomic profiling in the NeoRHEA Study.
Article in NPJ breast cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03065621 (Neoadjuvant Biomarker ResearcH Study of Palbociclib Combined With Endocrine Therapy in Estrogen Receptor Positive/HER2 Negative Breast CAncer), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a promising biomarker in early hormone receptor (HR) + , HER2-negative breast cancer. We assessed ctDNA with the RaDaR assay in NeoRHEA (NCT03065621), a single-arm, phase II neoadjuvant palbociclib plus endocrine therapy trial over 4 months (4 × 28-day cycles). Plasma samples were drawn pre-treatment, after cycle 1, pre-surgery, and 1 month post-surgery. Baseline ctDNA was detected in 55%, fell to 5% during treatment, and was undetectable in all patients by 1-month post-surgery. Baseline detection was higher in grade 3 tumors, lower in multifocal/multicentric disease, and higher in residual cancer burden (RCB) 3. MYC gains/amplifications were enriched in ultrasound (US) responders, while PIK3CA gains were enriched in US non-responders; FAT1 losses were enriched in RCB 3. Baseline ctDNA predicted poor response to this regimen, supporting ctDNA as a biomarker to guide treatment in HR + /HER2-negative disease.
