Resistance to thapsigargin-induced intracellular calcium mobilization in a multidrug resistant tumour cell line.
Article in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
A multidrug resistant (MDR) cell line, derived from the human leukaemic cell K562 and selected for its resistance to Vincristine, was shown to be resistant to Thapsigargin (TG). A concentration of 50 nM TG was toxic to K562 cells whereas the MDR cell line, known as Lucena I cells, survived unaffected for up to seven days in culture. Similarly, no intracellular Ca2+ mobilization was observed in the MDR cell line treated with TG. This effect was not a result of TG extrusion by P glycoprotein (Pgp), as no mobilization was observed even in the presence of the Pgp inhibitors Verapamil (5 microM) and Cyclosporin A (0.16 microM). In the present study, both cell lines expressed comparable levels of Bcl-2 making it unlikely that Bcl-2 was involved in this process. Similarly, no overexpression of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) could be detected in the MDR cell line and Ca2+ uptake by vesicles of the two cell types were equally sensitive to TG. These results confirm that MDR cells do not mobilize Ca2+ in the presence of TG but go against the possibility that this might be due to TG extrusion or to the overexpression of a resistant SERCA isoform.
