Expression of multidrug-resistance associated proteins in human retinoblastoma treated by primary enucleation.

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
aimTo reveal the expression of multidrug-resistance associated proteins: glutathione-S-transferase π (GSTπ), P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and vault protein lung resistance protein (LRP) in retinoblastoma (RB) without any conservative treatment before primary enucleation and to correlate this expression with histopathological tumor features.
methodsA total of 42 specimens of RB undergone primary enucleation were selected for the research. Sections from the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens were stained with HE and immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of GSTπ, P-gp and LRP.
resultsGSTπ was expressed in 39/42 (92.86%) RBs and in 9/9 (100%) well-differentiated RBs. P-gp/GSTπ was found in 30 (71.42%) of 42 RBs. Totally 9 (21.43%) tumors were well differentiated and 33 (78.57%) were poorly differentiated. Totally 15 (35.71%) eyes had optic nerve (ON) tumor invasion, 36 (85.71%) had choroidal tumor invasion, and 14 (33.33%) had simultaneous choroidal and ON invasion. There was no statistically significant relationship between P-gp, GSTπ, LRP positivity and the degree of ocular layer tumor invasion and ON tumor invasion (
conclusionRB intrinsically expresses GSTπ, P-gp and LRP. GSTπ expression is positive in 100% well-differentiation ones, so in which way it is correlated with differentiation. But the other two proteins expressions are not related to tumor differentiation and to the degree of tumor invasion. GSTπ may be a new target of chemotherapy in RB.
