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

backgroundSeveral signal transduction pathways have been reported being involved in the acquisition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated multi-drug resistance (MDR) upon exposure to anti-cancer drugs, whereas there is evidence indicating that the expression and activity of P-gp were not equally or even reversely modulated by different drugs.

methodsTo further illustrate this drug-specific effect, possible mechanisms that enable breast cancer cells MCF-7 to acquire MDR to either paclitaxel (PTX) or doxorubicin (DOX) were investigated in a time-dependent manner.

resultsThe results suggested that at least two pathways participated in this process. One was the short and transient activation of NF-κB, the second one was the relatively prolonged induction of PXR. Both PXR and NF-κB pathways took part in the PTX drug resistance acquisition, whereas DOX did not exert a significant effect on the PXR-mediated induction of P-gp. Furthermore, the property of NF-κB activation shared by DOX and PTX was not identical. An attempt made in the present study demonstrated that the acquired resistance to DOX was via or partially via NF-κB activation but not its upstream receptor TLR4, while PTX can induce the drug resistance via TLR4-NF-κB pathway.

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this report is among the first to directly compare the time dependence of NF-κB and PXR pathways. The current study provides useful insight into the distinct ability of DOX and PTX to induce P-gp mediated MDR in breast cancer. Different strategies may be required to circumvent MDR in the presence of different anti-cancer drugs.
