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

Monitoring p53 transcriptional activity to identify genotoxic damages induced by drugs has been proposed and validated in vitro. However, this methodology is by design limited to the cell line tested. In this study, we have fully validated a luciferase-based p53-reporter system in vitro and in vivo. We generated a mouse transgenic line to monitor non-invasively p53 activation in response to chemically induced DNA damage. Doxorubicin was used as a drug of known toxicity to validate our model. Reporter gene expression was measured using bioluminescence imaging. In females, a weak p53 luciferase activity driven by a p53-responsive promoter was detectable in the oral cavity region after doxorubicin treatment. In males, the signal increased in the lower abdominal region. Imaging of various organs revealed that the luciferase activity was mainly generated from the testes. Immunohistology demonstrated that the cells in the seminiferous tubules were damaged by the drug and confirmed that they were luciferase and p53 positive. Therefore, these transgenic mice could provide a powerful tool to predict, map and characterize at the organ and cellular levels the toxicity of compounds and help to develop new therapeutic agents in humans.
