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

Gas2 is a caspase-3 substrate that plays a role in regulating microfilament and cell shape changes during apoptosis. Here we provide evidence that overexpression of Gas2 efficiently increases cell susceptibility to apoptosis following UV irradiation, etoposide and methyl methanesulfonate treatments, and that these effects are dependent on increased p53 stability and transcription activity. To investigate possible pathways linking Gas2 to p53, a yeast two-hybrid screen swas performed, indicating m-calpain as a strong Gas2- interacting protein. Moreover, we demonstrate that Gas2 physically interacts with m-calpain in vivo and that recombinant Gas2 inhibits calpain-dependent processing of p53. Importantly, the Gas2 dominant-negative form (Gas2171-314) that binds calpain but is unable to inhibit its activity abrogates Gas2's ability to stabilize p53, to enhance p53 transcriptional activity and to induce p53-dependent apoptosis. Finally, we show that Gas2 is able to regulate the levels of p53 independently of Mdm2 status, suggesting that, like calpastatin, it may enhance p53 stability by inhibiting calpain activity.
