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

P-glycoprotein is the most crucial membrane transporter implicated in tumor resistance. Intensive efforts were paid to elucidate the complex mechanism of transport and to identify modulators of this transporter. However, the borderline between substrates and modulators is very thin and identification of the binding sites within P-glycoprotein is complex. Herein, we provide an intensive review of those issues and use molecular docking to assess its ability: first, to differentiate between three groups (substrates, modulators and non-substrates) and second to identify the binding sites. After thorough statistical analysis, we conclude despite the various challenges that molecular docking should not be underestimated as differences between the distinct groups were significant. However, when it comes to defining the binding site, care must be taken, since consensus throughout literature could not be reached.
