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

p53 is known to prevent tumour formation by restricting the proliferation of damaged or oncogene-expressing cells. In contrast, how the p53 family member p73 suppresses tumour formation remains elusive. Using a step-wise transformation protocol for human cells, we show that, in premalignant stages, expression of the transactivation-competent p73 isoform TAp73 is triggered in response to pRB pathway alterations. TAp73 expression at this stage of transformation results in increased sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs and oxidative stress and inhibits proliferation and survival at high cell density. Importantly, TAp73 triggers a transcriptional programme to prevent anchorage-independent growth, which is considered a crucial hallmark of fully transformed cells. An essential suppressor of anchorage-independent growth is KCNK1, which is directly transactivated by TAp73 and commonly downregulated in glioma, melanoma and ovarian cancer. Oncogenic Ras switches p73 expression from TAp73 to the oncogenic deltaNp73 isoform in a phosphatidyl-inositol 3-kinase-dependent manner. Our results implicate TAp73 as a barrier to anchorage-independent growth and indicate that downregulation of TAp73 is a key transforming activity of oncogenic Ras mutants.
