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

Multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic agents is the main reason for the failure of cancer chemotherapy. Overexpression of ABCB1 transporter that actively pumps various drugs out of the cells has been considered a major contributing factor for MDR. Over the past decade, many antimicrobial peptides with antitumor activity have been identified or synthesized, and some antitumor peptides have entered the clinical practice. In this study, we report that peptide HX-12C has the effect of reversing ABCB1-mediated chemotherapy resistance. In ABCB1-overexpressing cells, nontoxic dose of peptide HX-12C inhibited drug resistance and increased the effective intracellular concentration of paclitaxel and other ABCB1 substrate drugs. The mechanism study showed that peptide HX-12C stimulated ABCB1 ATPase activity without changing the expression level and localization patterns of ABCB1. Molecular docking predicted the binding modes between peptide HX-12C and ABCB1. Overall, we found that peptide HX-12C reverses ABCB1-mediated MDR through interacting with ABCB1 and blocking its function without affecting the transporter's expression and cellular localization. Our findings suggest that this antimicrobial peptide may be used as a novel prospective cancer therapeutic strategy in combination with conventional anticancer agents.
