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

MDM2 is a key negative regulator of tumor suppressor p53. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the MDM2 promoter, SNP309, enhances transcriptional activation of MDM2 and has been associated with early onset of several types of cancer. In this study, we attempted to determine if the MDM2 SNP309 polymorphism plays a role in the aggressive phenotype seen in African American (AA) prostate cancer by examining the association between MDM2 SNP309 and MDM2 protein levels in prostate cancer (PCa) patients of different racial backgrounds. Prospectively enrolled PCa patients (AA=51, CA=50) were evaluated for MDM2 SNP309 and MDM2 protein expression. MDM2 overexpression, defined as >10% of tumor cells in three tissue cores, was assessed using immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray. MDM2 protein expression was significantly greater in CA than AA patients (78% versus 45% respectively, p=0.0007). Germline DNA was analyzed by PCR-RFLP then confirmed by DNA sequencing. MDM2 SNP309 genotype frequencies did not differ significantly between AA and CA PCa patients (AA: TT 68.6%, TG 25.5%, GG 5.9%; CA: TT 62.0%, TG 20.0%, GG 18.0%; p=0.16), suggesting that the MDM2 SNP309 allele does not play a significant role in the observed overexpression.
