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 development of multiple drug resistance (MDR) is a significant problem in epilepsy therapy. The primary factor responsible for antiepileptic drug (AEDs) resistance is the over-expression of the MDR gene product, P-glycoprotein (Pgp). To model a therapeutic approach for decreasing drug resistance in patients with intractable epilepsy, we established a model of coriaria lactone (CL) induced Pgp overexpression in rat astrocytes and administered a recombinant adenovirus Ad5-EGFP-shRNA1-U6 to deliver an anti-mdr1b short hairpin RNA (shRNA) for 5 days. We then investigated the gene-silencing effects of shRNA by quantitative real-time RT-PCR, Western-blot, and Rho123 accumulation assay. The results showed that over-expression of mdr1b and Pgp was successfully suppressed, the ability of intracellular Rho123 retention was increased, and drug efflux was decreased in the adenovirus treated astrocytes. In conclusion, MDR was reversed in rat astrocyte model. These findings may be favorable for developing new therapeutic strategies for treating intractable epilepsy.
