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

A hallmark in the pathogenesis of cancer is the increased expression of heat shock proteins (Hsps) and other molecular chaperones observed in many tumor types, which is considered to be an adaptive response to enhance tumor cell survival. Heat shock transcription factor 1 (Hsf1) is a major transactivator of Hsp induction and has been proposed to affect tumor initiation and progression, regulating expression of Hsps and other molecular targets. In this report, we provide direct in vivo evidence that Hsf1 plays a critical role in the evolution of spontaneous tumors arising in p53(-/-) mice. Thus, loss of Hsf1 function did not prolong tumor-free survival, but surprisingly altered the spectrum of tumors that arose in p53(-/-) mice. Tumor development is rapid in p53(-/-) mice, which predominantly (about 70%) succumb to lymphomas. In contrast, hsf1(-/-)p53(-/-) mice rarely develop lymphomas (<8%), but succumb to other tumor types including testicular carcinomas and soft tissue sarcomas. Our findings suggest that an increase in p53-independent apoptotic cell death in association with altered cytokine signaling and suppressed production of inflammatory factors in hsf1(-/-) mice may contribute to selective lymphoma suppression. In conclusion, the data presented here link the loss of Hsf1-dependent function to decreased susceptibility to spontaneous lymphomagenesis, which may have implications for cancer prevention and therapy.
