Dynamic quantitative detection of ABC transporter family promoter methylation by MS-HRM for predicting MDR in pancreatic cancer.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 main focus of the present study was to evaluate whether ABC transporter family promoter methylation predicted multidrug resistance in gemcitabine-resistant cancer cell lines (BxPC-3/Gem and PANC-1/Gem). Using low concentrations of gemcitabine, the cell lines acquired drug resistance with different initial gemcitabine concentrations. A novel technology, methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting, was used to monitor the dynamic changes of ABC transporter family promoter methylation, including ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), ATP binding cassette subfamily C (ABCC) and ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) mRNA expression. It was revealed that, with elevation of initial gemcitabine concentration, expression of ABCB1, ABCC and ABCG2 mRNA and corresponding downstream proteins was increased while promoter methylation was decreased. These discoveries indicate that promoter methylation of ABCB1, ABCC and ABCG2 may be a valuable indicator of drug-resistance characteristics in BxPC-3/Gem and PANC-1/Gem cells via quantitative and simultaneous detection. These results also implied that MDR in pancreatic cancer not only arises from gene mutation, but also originates from promoter methylation.
