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

The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence that can be used to reconstruct the etiology of human cancers from mutations found in tumors. Mutational spectra of the tumor suppressor gene p53 (TP53) are tumor specific. In several cases, these mutational spectra can be linked to exogenous carcinogens, most notably for sunlight-associated skin cancers, tobacco-associated lung cancers, and aristolochic acid-related urothelial tumors. In the TP53 gene, methylated CpG dinucleotides are sequences selectively targeted by endogenous and exogenous mutagenic processes. Recent high-throughput sequencing efforts analyzing a large number of genes in cancer genomes have so far, for the most part, produced mutational spectra similar to those in TP53 but have unveiled a previously unrecognized common G to C transversion mutation signature at GpA dinucleotides in breast cancers and several other cancers. Unraveling the origin of these G to C mutations will be of importance for understanding cancer etiology.
