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

Preincubation of etoposide-resistant human MCF7 breast cancer cells (MCF7/VP) with buthionine sulphoximine (BSO) resulted in their sensitisation to etoposide and vincristine. Chemosensitisation was accompanied by elevated intracellular drug levels. In contrast, simultaneous exposure to BSO did not result in increased drug accumulation. Similar, but quantitatively smaller, effects were also observed when sensitive wild-type MCF7/WT cells were treated with BSO. In agreement with its effect on drug accumulation, BSO pretreatment also increased VP-16-stimulated cleavable complex formation between DNA topoisomerase II and cellular DNA. BSO treatment also led to a significant increase in acid-precipitable VP-16 levels in MCF7/VP, but not MCF7/WT cells. In contrast, no clear effects of BSO on drug efflux were observed and drug retention was only minimally increased after BSO treatment of both MCF7/WT and MCF7/VP cells and no difference between the two cell lines was detected. Thus, chemosensitisation by BSO appeared to be mediated through increased intracellular drug concentrations and/or protein binding.
