1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Acquired drug resistance represents a major cause of chemotherapy failure in patients with cancer. The characterization of the molecular pathways involved in drug resistance has provided us with new targets to overcome this problem. Many of these target proteins are often overexpressed in human cancers. A number of gene therapy strategies, including antisense oligonucleotides, ribozymes and single-chain antibodies, have been developed to achieve the selective modulation and inhibition of various cellu- lar proteins. Thus, these approaches can be exploited to modulate the resistance phenotype of tumor cells. These gene therapy strategies represent a novel and unique way to enhance the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. This review will focus on the use of intracellular immunization as a means to modulate the expression of specific genetic determinants involved in the drug resistance phenotype.
