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

p73 is a p53-related tumor suppressor but is also induced by oncogene products such as E2F-1, raising a question as to whether p73 is a tumor suppressor gene or oncogene. Unlike p53, p73 has several variants, including Delta Np73, which lacks the NH(2)-terminal transactivation domain. Although, in developing neurons, Delta Np73 is expressed abundantly and seems to inhibit the proapoptotic function of p53, the role of p73 and Delta Np73 and their regulatory mechanism in cell growth and differentiation are poorly understood. Here we report that p73, but not p53, directly activates the transcription of endogenous Delta Np73 by binding to the p73-specific target element located at positions -76 to -57 within the Delta Np73 promoter region. The activation of Delta Np73 promoter by p63 was marginal. Delta Np73 was associated with p73 alpha, p73 beta, and p53, as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation assays, and inhibited their transactivation activities when we used reporters of Mdm2, Bax, or Delta Np73 itself in SAOS-2 cells. Furthermore, induction or overexpression of Delta Np73 promoted cell survival by competing with p53 and p73 itself. Thus, our results suggest that the negative feedback regulation of p73 by its target Delta Np73 is a novel autoregulatory system for modulating cell survival and death.
