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

Anthocyanins (ACNs) from dark sweet cherries (DSCs) have shown efficacy against breast cancer (BC) cells, particularly triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, without affecting normal breast cells. This study investigated the impact of ACNs on TNBC cells, focusing on drug resistance mechanisms involving drug metabolism and transport enzymes. Specifically, it was examined whether ACNs influenced Doxorubicin (DOX) metabolism by targeting drug metabolism enzymes (phase I metabolism) and drug transport enzymes (phase III metabolism) in TNBC cells. 4T1 TNBC cells were treated with ACNs, DOX, and the combination of both (ACN-DOX). Results showed a synergistic inhibition of cell viability by ACNs and DOX. In addition, the modulation of phase I drug-metabolizing enzymes was exerted by ACNs, reducing the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes induced by DOX. A reduction of drug efflux by ACNs was shown by decreasing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity, leading to a higher intracellular accumulation of DOX. These effects were confirmed using CYP and P-gp inducers and inhibitors, showing their impact on cell viability. In conclusion, the combination of ACNs with DOX has the potential to lower DOX doses, enhance its efficacy, and possibly reduce side effects, offering a promising approach for TNBC treatment.
