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 problem of multidrug resistance (MDR) in human cancers led to the discovery 30 years ago of a single protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp), capable of mediating resistance to multiple structurally diverse drugs. P-gp became the archetypal eukaryotic ABC transporter gene, and studies of P-gp and related ABC transporters in both eukaryotes and bacteria have led to a basic mechanistic understanding of the molecular basis of MDR. Particular milestones along the way have been the identification of the homology between P-gp and bacterial transport proteins, the purification and functional reconstitution of P-gp into synthetic lipid systems, and the development of targeted therapies that attempt to overcome MDR by inhibiting P-gp. This preface places into this context some of the less well-explored themes developed in the MDR field, particularly various alternative models of P-gp action, evidence for parallel physiological roles for P-gp, and the unusual relationship between the substrate recognition capabilities of ABC transporters and their evolutionary history.
