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

purposeA low proliferating fraction in solid tumors limits the effectiveness of cell-cycle-dependent chemotherapeutic agents. To understand the molecular basis of such resistance, we examined the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinases inhibitor p27, and relationship with drug resistance and P-gp expression in ovarian cancer multicellular spheroids.

methodsWe cultured ovarian cancer cells (A2780 and CAOV3) as multicellular spheroids and examined the expression of p27 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) by western blot, flow cytometry and confocal. We also analyzed the cell-cycle distribution by flow cytometry. In addition, trypan blue exclusion testing and cell apoptosis analysis were used to detect the sensitivity to Taxol.

resultsWhen transferred from monolayer to three-dimensional culture, a consistent upregulation of p27 protein and P-gp protein was observed in ovarian cancer cell lines. Compared with monolayer cells, there was a significant increase of G0-G1 phase cells and decrease of S and G2-M phase cells in spheroid cells. Aggregates of cells showed higher cell viability than monolayer cells. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASON) -mediated downregulation of p27 reduced intercellular adhesion, increased cell proliferation, downregulated P-gp expression and sensitized cells to Taxol.

conclusionsOur results implicate that p27 serves as a regulator of drug resistance in ovarian tumors. ASON-mediated alteration of p27 reverses resistance of ovarian cancer to anticancer agents that are associated with increased sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents.
