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

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a brain tumour characterised by a remarkably high chemoresistance and infiltrating capability. To date, chemotherapy with temozolomide has contributed only poorly to improved survival rates in patients. One of the most important mechanisms of chemoresistance comes about through the activity of certain proteins from the ATP-binding cassette superfamily that extrudes antitumour drugs, or their metabolites, from cells. We identify an increased expression of the multiple drug resistance-associated protein 1 (Mrp1) in glioblastoma multiforme biopsies and in T98G and G44 cell lines. The activity of this transporter was also confirmed by measuring the extrusion of the fluorescent substrate CFDA. The sensitivity of GBM cells was low upon exposure to temozolomide, vincristine and etoposide, with decreases in cell viability of below 20% seen at therapeutic concentrations of these drugs. However, combined exposure to vincristine or etoposide with an inhibitor of Mrp1 efficiently decreased cell viability by up to 80%. We conclude that chemosensitization of cells with inhibitors of Mrp1 activity might be an efficient tool for the treatment of human GBM.
