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

Recent studies in non-neuronal cells have shown that the tumor suppressor p53 can promote cell death through a transcription-independent mechanism involving its direct action with a subset of Bcl-2 family member proteins in the cytosol and at the mitochondria. In cultured cortical neurons, however, we could not find evidence supporting a significant contribution of the cytosolic/mitochondrial p53 pathway, and available evidence instead corroborated the requirement for the transcriptional activity of p53. When directly targeted to the cytosol/mitochondria, wild-type p53 lost its apoptosis-inducing activity in neurons but not in non-neuronal cells. The N-terminal p53 fragment (transactivation and proline-rich domains), which induces apoptosis in non-neuronal cells via the cytosolic/mitochondrial pathway, displayed no apoptogenic activity in neurons. In neuronal apoptosis induced by camptothecin or an MDM2 (murine double minute 2) inhibitor, nutlin-3, endogenous p53 protein did not accumulate in the cytosol/mitochondria, and transcriptional inhibition after p53 induction effectively blocked cell death. In addition, overexpression of a dominant-negative form of p53 (R273H) completely suppressed induction of proapoptotic p53 target genes and cell death. PUMA (p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis) was one such gene induced by camptothecin, and its overexpression was sufficient to induce Bax (Bcl-2-associated X protein)-dependent neuronal death, whereas Noxa was not apoptogenic. These results collectively demonstrate that, in contrast to non-neuronal cells, the apoptotic activity of p53 in postnatal cortical neurons does not rely on its direct action at the cytosol/mitochondria but is exclusively mediated through its transcription-dependent functions. The uniqueness of p53-mediated apoptotic signaling in postnatal cortical neurons was further illustrated by the dispensable function of the proline-rich domain of p53.
