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 strongest and undisputed fact about p53 is the high frequency of p53 alterations in human cancer and that mutant p53 proteins constitute a complex family of several hundred proteins with heterogeneous properties. Beyond these observations, the p53 pathway and its regulation in a normal cell is like a desert trail, always moving with the wind of novel findings. The field is full of black boxes that are often ignored for sake of simplicity or because they do not fit with the current dominant view. Mutant p53 protein accumulation in tumours is the best example of a preconceived idea, as there is no experimental evidence to explain this observation. In this review, we will discuss several questions concerning the activity or selection of p53 mutations. The central domain of the p53 protein targeted by 80% of p53 mutations is associated with the DNA-binding activity of the p53 protein, but it is also the binding site for several proteins that play a key role in p53 regulation such as ASPP proteins or BclxL. The role of impaired DNA binding and/or protein interactions in tumour development has not been fully elucidated. Similarly, novel animal models carrying either missense p53 mutations or inducible p53 have provided abundant observations, some of which could challenge our view on p53 function as a tumour suppressor gene. Finally, the possible clinical applications of p53 will be discussed.
