Valproate modulates the activity of multidrug resistance efflux pumps, as a chemoresistance factor in gastric cancer cells.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDrug resistance is one of the most critical problems in gastric cancer therapy. This study was performed to investigate the valproic acid effects on the proliferation of sensitive and resistant cell lines of human gastric cancer, and to explore the mechanism of the agent on multi drug resistance and apoptosis genes.
methodsThe cytotoxicity effect of valproic acid on the EPG85.257 and EPG85.257RDB cells was assessed by the MTT assay, and the IC
resultsDose-dependent toxicity was recorded after treatment of cells with valproic acid. Valproic acid represented a significant growth inhibition on EPG85.257 cells with IC
conclusionsValproate can affect drug resistance in gastric cancer via a unique mechanism independent of MDR1 expression.
