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

Inherent or acquired resistance to multiple natural product drugs in human tumour cells is often associated with increased expression of multidrug resistance protein (MRP), a 190-kDa integral membrane protein that belongs to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transport proteins. Both clinical and experimental investigations of MRP have been facilitated by several monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) generated against intracellular epitopes of the molecule. Recently, however, several new ABC transporters that are quite closely related to MRP have been identified, raising concerns about the specificity of the MRP-reactive MAbs. In the present study, we have mapped the epitopes of MAbs MRPr1 and MRPm6 to the decapeptides 238GSDLWSLNKE247 (located in the intracellular loop between the first and second membrane-spanning domains of MRP) and 1511PSDLLQQRGL1520 (located near the carboxy terminus of MRP) respectively. Alignment of the MRPr1 and MRPm6 epitope sequences with the comparable regions in mammalian ABC proteins most closely related to MRP indicates that, with the exception of murine mrp, the sequences are poorly conserved. We conclude that MAbs MRPm6 and MRPr1, together with MAb QCRL-1, which has previously been mapped to the heptapeptide 918SSYSGDI924, remain highly specific probes for detection of different regions of the MRP molecule.
