Drug-Resistant Cholangiocarcinoma Cell Lines for Therapeutic Evaluation of Novel Drugs.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The pharmacological treatment of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is often hampered by tumor resistance. Improving our understanding of this issue is crucial for developing strategies that can overcome drug refractoriness. We have established and characterized two novel human cell sublines derived from extrahepatic CCA EGI-1 cells that are resistant to cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Migration and proliferation were analyzed using holographic microscopy. The expression of genes involved in drug uptake and efflux was determined by RT-qPCR. Cross-resistance to commonly used antitumor drugs was assayed using the MTT test. EGI-1 sublines resistant to cisplatin (CR) or 5-FU (FR) exhibited more than a three-fold increase in resistance to cisplatin and 5-FU, respectively, and showed reduced proliferation, migration, and colony-formation rates, along with an altered cell cycle compared to wild-type cells, while retaining tumorigenic capacity. The analysis of the transportome showed downregulation of uptake transporters and upregulation of the export pumps MRP3/4. EGI-1 cells with acquired resistance to 5-FU demonstrated cross-resistance to irinotecan and gemcitabine, while cisplatin-resistant cells showed decreased sensitivity to 5-FU and platinum derivatives. These resistant cell lines offer valuable models for investigating the molecular basis of chemoresistance in CCA, providing a robust platform for the development and evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies.
