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 tumour suppressor protein p53 regulates the expression of several genes that mediate cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, DNA repair and other cellular responses. Recently, we have shown that human transcriptional co-activator PC4 is a unique activator of p53 function. In the present study, we report that PC4 is a p53-inducible gene. Bioinformatics analysis reveals multiple p53-binding sites in the PC4 promoter. We have found that indeed p53 binds to all the identified sites in vitro and in vivo with varying affinities. p53 acts as an activator of PC4 transcription. Both PC4 mRNA and protein levels increase in response to stimuli that result in p53 induction. Furthermore, PC4 enhances p53 recruitment to the PC4 promoter. Our results thus establish the first report of a positively regulated feedback loop to control p53 function.
