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

backgroundThe p73 gene is a p53 homologue that induces apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation. N-terminal truncated isoforms of p73 (DeltaNp73) act as dominant-negative inhibitors of wild-type p53 and TAp73 and result in tumour growth in nude mice.

aimsTo detect DeltaNp73 expression in 24 benign prostatic hyperplasia samples, 33 prostate carcinomas, and five normal samples and to evaluate the relation between DeltaNp73, TAp73 concentrations, and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with prostate cancer.

methodsTAp73 was determined by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR); DeltaNp73 and DeltaN'p73 were assessed using reverse transcription PCR. western blotting was used to analyse protein expression. p53 mutation was determined by immunohistochemistry.

resultsA significant increase of DeltaNp73 was seen in 20 of 33 carcinomas and 17 of 24 benign prostate hyperplasia tissues, but in none of the normal samples. None of the specimens expressed DeltaN'p73. No significant relation was found between TAp73 expression and clinical parameters. The incidence of positive expression of DeltaNp73 correlated with the Gleason score in prostate carcinomas. Cancer samples with wild-type p53 had significantly higher expression of DeltaNp73 than p53 mutant cancers.

conclusionThese data suggest a potential role for DeltaNp73 in prostate cancer progression.
