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

aimNovel MRP modulators are needed to combat MRP-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells.

backgroundAnticancer drug resistance is the main problem in cancer therapy. Causative multidrug efflux pumps are attractive target structures for the development of inhibitors of their activity.

objectiveWe synthesized novel cage dimeric 1,4-dihydropyridines to evaluate them as MRP modulators in cancer cells targeting MRP1, MRP2, and MRP4.

methodsCage compounds were synthesized by solution dimerization of monomeric 1,4-dihydropyridines and a final functionalization reaction. The MRP modulation was determined in cellular efflux assays by the use of the flow cytometry technique as well as cellular fluorescent measurements with each fluorescent substrate of the efflux pumps.

resultsDifluoro phenyl and methoxy or dimethoxy benzyl substitutions were most favourable for the MRP1 and MRP2 inhibition, whereas monofluor phenyl and dimethoxy benzyl substitutions were most favourable for the MRP4 inhibition.

conclusionEffective inhibitors were identified that were demonstrated to restore the respective cancer cell line sensitivity for the anticancer drug as a proof-of-concept that encourages further preclinical studies.
