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

backgroundMultidrug resistance (MDR) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) leads to treatment failure and tumor recurrence. Dysregulation of the MYC oncogene is associated with the pathogenesis of TNBC and the development of chemoresistance via overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to identify molecules from a natural product origin that prevent the development of MDR in TNBC by targeting the MYC signaling.

methodsThe cell viability of TNBC was evaluated using sulforhodamine assay. Protein levels were detected by western blots or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Intracellular calcein and hoechst33342 accumulation assay aimed to evaluate the inhibitory ability of phytocompounds on drug-efflux functions of

resultsThe results of the present study demonstrated that the phyto-sesquiterpene lactones exhibited an MDR prevention effect by repressing efflux activities of

conclusionsIn conclusion, these three phyto-sesquiterpene lactones were promising candidates for TNBC treatment and shed light on the prevention of developing MDR TNBC.
