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 suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that induces growth arrest and/or apoptosis in response to cellular stress. To identify novel p53-inducible genes, we compared the expression of genes in normal mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) to p53-null cells by cDNA representational difference analysis. We report here that expression of endogenous sodium channel subunit beta 3 (SCN3B) is upregulated in mouse embryonic fibroblasts by DNA damage in a p53-dependent manner. In addition, we found that SCN3B levels are upregulated in human cancer cell lines by DNA damaging agents, as well as by overexpression of p53, but not significantly by p63 or p73. Furthermore, we identified two putative p53-binding sites upstream of the first exon (RE1) and in the third intron (RE2). The p53 protein can directly interact with the putative p53-binding sites in vivo, as assessed by chromatin immunoprecipitation. A reporter gene assay revealed that these two p53-binding sites are functional response elements. The SCN3B protein appears to be localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Introduction of the SCN3B gene into T98G and Saos2 cells potently suppressed colony formation. Furthermore, we found that adenovirus-mediated transfer of SCN3B induced apoptosis when combined with anticancer agents. The results presented here suggest that SCN3B mediates a p53-dependent apoptotic pathway and may be a candidate for gene therapy combined with anticancer drugs.
