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 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily is one of the largest protein families with representatives in all kingdoms of life. Members of this superfamily are involved in a wide variety of transport processes with substrates ranging from small ions to relatively large polypeptides and polysaccharides. The G subfamily of ABC transporters consists of half-transporters, which oligomerise to form the functional transporter. While ABCG1, ABCG4 and ABCG5/8 are involved in the ATP-dependent translocation of steroids and, possibly, other lipids, ABCG2 (also termed the breast cancer resistance protein) has been identified as a multidrug transporter that confers resistance on tumor cells. Evidence will be summarized suggesting that ABCG2 can also mediate the binding/transport of non-drug substrates, including free and conjugated steroids. The characterization of the substrate specificities of ABCG proteins at a molecular level might provide further clues about their potential physiological role(s), and create new opportunities for the modulation of their activities in relation to human disease.
