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

Drug resistance (MDR) poses a significant challenge in breast cancer (BrCa) treatment, resulting in reduced efficacy and increased tumor recurrence. Resolving MDR in BrCa is necessary for improving the clinical efficacy of antitumor therapy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying MDR are complex and involve various biological processes, including ABC drug transporter-mediated drug efflux, abnormal drug metabolism, and the development of the tumor microenvironment. The abnormal expression of ABC transporter proteins constitutes a critical mechanism driving MDR in BrCa. Factors like breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), epigenetic changes, cell membrane lipids, and microenvironmental components affect the expression and function of ABC transporter proteins in BrCa. Here, we focus on the roles of Pglycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) in relation to MDR. Additionally, we review the factors affecting the expression and function of these transporters, emphasizing strategies such as gene modification, drug development, and modulation of cell membrane lipids.
