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

The therapeutic effect of chemotherapy and targeted therapy are known to be limited by drug resistance. Substantial evidence has shown that ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-gp and BCRP are significant contributors to multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. In this study, we demonstrated that a clinical-staged ATR inhibitor ceralasertib is susceptible to P-gp and BCRP-mediated MDR. The drug resistant cancer cells were less sensitive to ceralasertib compared to the parental cells. Moreover, ceralasertib resistance can be reversed by inhibiting the drug efflux activity of P-gp and BCRP. Interestingly, ceralasertib was able to downregulate the level of P-gp but not BCRP, suggesting a potential regulation between ATR signaling and P-gp expression. Furthermore, computational docking analysis predicted high affinities between ceralasertib and the drug-binding sites of P-gp and BCRP. In summary, overexpression of P-gp and BCRP are sufficient to confer cancer cells resistance to ceralasertib, underscoring their role as biomarkers for therapeutic efficacy.
