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

Specific p53 binding-induced DNA bending and its underlying responsible forces are crucial for the understanding of selective transcription activation. Diverse p53-response elements exist in the genome; however, it is not known what determines the DNA bending and to what extent. In order to gain knowledge of the forces that govern the DNA bending, molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a series of p53 core domain tetramer-DNA complexes in which each p53 core domain was bound to a DNA quarter site specifically. By varying the sequence of the central 4-base pairs of each half-site, different DNA bending extents were observed. The analysis showed that the dimer-dimer interactions in p53 were similar for the complexes; on the other hand, the specific interactions between the p53 and DNA, including the interactions of Arg280, Lys120, and Arg248 with the DNA, varied more significantly. In particular, the Arg280 interactions were better maintained in the complex with the CATG-containing DNA sequence and were mostly lost in the complex with the CTAG-containing DNA sequence. Structural analysis shows that the base pairings for the CATG sequence were stable throughout the simulation trajectory, whereas those for the CTAG sequence were partially dissociated in part of the trajectory, which affected the stability of the nearby Arg280-Gua base interactions. Thus, DNA bending depends on the balance between the p53 dimer-dimer interactions and p53-DNA interactions, which is in turn related to the DNA sequence and DNA flexibility.
