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

The p53 oncosuppressor is strictly maintained in an inactive form under normal conditions, while it is post-translationally activated by a variety of stresses, enacting different protective biological functions. Since one critical issue in cancer gene therapy is tumor specificity, we asked whether the tight p53 regulation applies also to exogenously transferred p53. In principle, this type of regulation could allow p53 gene transfer in both normal and tumor cells to produce detrimental effects only in the latter ones. Here, we report that primary bone marrow cells infected with a p53 recombinant retrovirus and transplanted into irradiated mice reconstitute the hematopoietic system, with no detectable alterations in any of its compartments. Furthermore, simultaneous infection of leukemia and bone marrow cells depleted the neoplastic contamination, allowing lifelong, disease-free survival of 65% of the transplanted animals. These results show that exogenous p53 is controlled as tightly as the endogenous one, and opens the way to p53 gene therapy, without requiring tumor targeting.
