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

Betulin is a lupane-type pentacyclic triterpene, which is isolated from birch bark. It has a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial activity. Herein, we explored the factors that may result in betulin resistance, especially with respect to its interaction with ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 1 (ABCC1). ABCC1 is an important member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, which is central to mediating multidrug resistance (MDR) in naturally derived anticancer agents. An MTT-based cell viability assay showed that ABCC1 overexpression has the ability to desensitize both cancer cell line and gene-transfected cell line to betulin and that this betulin-induced resistance can be antagonized by a known ABCC1 inhibitor MK571 at 25 μM. Additionally, betulin upregulates the ABCC1 protein expression level in both concentration-dependent and time-dependent manners, also blocks the transport function mediated by ABCC1. Subsequently, a high affinity score of betulin was achieved in a computational docking analysis, demonstrating a strong interaction of betulin with ABCC1.
