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

The effect of agosterol A, a novel polyhydroxylated sterol acetate isolated from a marine sponge, on P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug-resistant cells (KB-C2) and the multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP1)-mediated multidrug-resistant cells (KB-CV60) was examined. Agosterol A reversed the resistance to colchicine in KB-C2 cells and also the resistance to vincristine in KB-CV60 cells at 3 to 10 microM concentration. Agosterol A at 3 mM increased the vincristine concentration in both KB-C2 cells and KB-CV60 cells to the level in parental KB-3-1 cells. Agosterol A also decreased the efflux of vincristine from both KB-C2 cells and KB-CV60 cells to the level seen in KB-3-1 cells. Agosterol A inhibited the [(3)H]azidopine-photolabeling of P-gp and also inhibited the uptake of [(3)H]S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)glutathione (DNP-SG) in inside-out membrane vesicles prepared from KB-CV60 cells. We conclude that agosterol A directly inhibited drug efflux through P-gp and/or MRP1.
