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

backgroundTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by its aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Docetaxel is the common chemotherapeutic drug used in the treatment of TNBC. However, resistance to docetaxel has limited the effectiveness of TNBC treatment. Petroleum ether extracts of

methodsA docetaxel-resistant MDA-MB-231 (MDA-MB-231/docetaxel) cell line was established, and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and western blotting assays were used to evaluate the effect of docetaxel resistance in MDA-MB-231 cells. Next, CCK-8 was also performed to detect the effect of docetaxel or the combination treatment of docetaxel and PECZ on the proliferation of MDA-MB-231/docetaxel cells. Thereafter, MDA-MB-231/docetaxel cells were subcutaneously injected into nude mice to induce a TNBC xenograft model, and the mice were divided into a model group, docetaxel group, PECZ group, and combination of docetaxel and PECZ group. Subsequently, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, immunohistochemical, qRT-PCR, and western blotting were used to estimate the effect of pre-treatment with PECZ on docetaxel tolerance reversal.

resultsPECZ significantly inhibited the expression of pregnane X receptor (PXR), multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and cytochrome P-450 (CYP3A4) in MDA-MB-231/docetaxel cells. Only higher concentrations of docetaxel could inhibit the viability of MDA-MB-231/docetaxel cells. When pre-treated with PECZ, lower concentrations of docetaxel could significantly inhibit cell viability. Meanwhile, combination treatment also reduced the tumor volume, ameliorated the pathological change of tumor tissues, and down-regulated the expressions of PXR, MDR1, BCRP, and CYP3A4 (according to HE staining, immunohistochemical, qRT-PCR and western blotting results

conclusionsOur research showed that PECZ reversed docetaxel resistance in TNBC by PXR both
