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 emergence of resistance in a tumor population is most often associated with a disregulation of gene expression, usually at the level of transcription. A major goal in the field of cancer chemotherapy is to define the mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation of drug resistance genes in an effort to identify targets for therapeutic intervention. Recently, considerable progress has been made in identifying the molecular mechanisms involved in the transcriptional regulation of the P-glycoprotein (Pgp) gene. When overexpressed in tumor cells, Pgp confers resistance to a variety of chemotherapeutic agents; this resistance has been termed MDR (multidrug resistance). Moreover, Pgp is a normal component of a variety of highly differentiated cell types and, as such, is regulated by both internal and external environmental stimuli. In this review, we will discuss the current knowledge regarding the DNA elements and protein factors involved in both constitutive and inducible regulation of Pgp transcription in normal and tumor cells.
