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

purposeAcquired β-tubulin alterations in human ovarian carcinoma 1A9 cells were previously shown to confer resistance to the microtubule stabilizing agents peloruside A (PLA) and laulimalide (LAU). We examined the proteome of resistant cells to see what other protein changes occurred as a result of the acquired drug resistance.

methodsTwo-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis was performed to explore differentially expressed proteins in the resistant 1A9-R1 (R1) and 1A9-L4 (L4) cells. The proteins on the gels were identified by MALDI-TOF MS, and altered protein abundance was confirmed by Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. Vimentin expression was restored in vimentin-deficient L4 cells by transfecting a full-length human vimentin cDNA, and sensitivity to PLA and LAU were tested using an MTT cell proliferation assay.

resultsProteomic analysis identified several proteins that were significantly altered in the resistant cells relative to the parental 1A9 cells. Using Western blotting and immunocytochemistry, a decreased vimentin abundance in the L4 cells was validated. Vimentin levels were unchanged in PLA-resistant R1 cells and paclitaxel/epothilone-resistant derivatives of 1A9 cells. Vimentin cDNA transfection into L4 cells partially restored PLA and LAU sensitivity.

conclusionsDownregulation of vimentin contributes to the resistance of 1A9 cells to the microtubule stabilizing agents, PLA and LAU.
