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

Tumor cells can acquire aggressive phenotypes secondary to the loss of expression of the wild-type p53 (WTp53) protein or by the gain of function for selected mutant p53 (MTp53) proteins. However, it is unclear as to whether the development of aggressive phenotypes is inter-related. Herein we report the radiosensitivity, chemosensitivity, and in vivo growth characteristics of isogenic p53(-/-) MEF ras-transformants that variably express an MTp53 protein. Initial experiments revealed significant clonal heterogeneity with respect to cellular sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents (i.e. ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation, cis-platinum, and methotrexate) within subclones of a pre-existing p53(-/-) MEF cell population. Moreover, this differential sensitivity was also observed within subclones of p53(-/-) MEF cells transformed with an activated ras allele, suggesting that secondary genetic events and clonal selection, but not cellular transformation per se, may drive the resistance patterns for certain null-p53 tumors. In contrast, uniform resistance was observed following the additional transfection of an MTp53 allele (MTp53pro193) into p53(-/-) MEF transformants and p53(-/-) DP-16 Friend erythroleukemia cells, consistent with a gain of MTp53 function for this allele. Relative tumor growth rate and experimental metastatic ability was not enhanced by MTp53pro193 expression. Our results support the concept that gain of MTp53pro193 function leads to the selection of dominant clones, which may exhibit cellular resistance following cancer therapy.
