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

It is still not clear whether the p53 pathway is altered in retinoblastoma development. We assessed the expression of the p53 pathway genes p14(ARF), mouse double minute 2 (MDM2), and mouse double minute 4 (MDM4) in human retinoblastoma compared to normal retina. Primary human retinoblastomas, retinoblastoma cell lines and normal retinas were assessed for p14(ARF) and MDM4 mRNA by quantitative RT-PCR. p14(ARF), MDM2, and MDM4 protein were measured by immunoblot and immunohistochemistry. Compared to retina, p14(ARF) mRNA expression was notably increased in retinoblastoma but p14(ARF) protein was undetectable. MDM2 and MDM4 proteins were expressed in 22/22 retinoblastomas. MDM2 was expressed in 3/10 retinas tested, and MDM4 in 10/10 retinas. The expression level of MDM2 protein in retinoblastomas and retina was comparable, while MDM4 protein was overexpressed in one retinoblastoma cell line Y79 and two primary retinoblastomas. We observe that overexpression of MDM2 and MDM4 is not a necessary step in retinoblastoma development. However, loss of detectable p14(ARF) protein and resultant lack of functional inactivation of these p53 inhibitors may contribute to retinoblastoma development by constitutive inhibition of p53.
