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

BACKGROUND &

aimsDietary exposure to aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)), in addition to other known factors, increases risk for human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCCs from AFB(1)-exposed individuals frequently have distinct TP53 mutations, such as G to T transversions in the second guanine of codon 249 (AGG to AGT), and a characteristic mutational spectrum predominated by G:C to T:A mutations.

methodsTo recapitulate the distinctive features of TP53 mutations in AFB(1)-associated HCC, we investigated AFB(1)-induced DNA adduction in relation to mutagenesis in transgenic mouse fibroblasts exposed to AFB(1) in vitro.

resultsImmunodotblot determination of DNA adducts in the overall genome of AFB(1)-exposed cells revealed the dose-dependant formation of persistent imidazole ring-opened AFB(1)-DNA adducts. DNA footprinting analysis of the cII transgene in AFB(1)-exposed cells verified the dose-dependent and sequence-specific formation of DNA adducts. The preferential formation of AFB(1)-induced DNA adducts along the cII transgene was almost exclusively localized to guanine-containing sequences encompassing CpG dinucleotides. Mutation analysis of the cII transgene in AFB(1)-exposed cells revealed a dose-dependent induction of cII mutant frequency (P < .001) and a unique induced mutational spectrum characterized by predominant induction of G:C to T:A transversions that occurred within CpG sequence contexts. Notably, codons 42 and 45 of the cII transgene, which have identical sequence contexts to that of codon 249 of human TP53, constituted 2 frequently mutated sites in AFB(1)-exposed cells that contained the G to T transversion signature mutation at their third base positions.

conclusionsIn this model system, AFB(1)-induced DNA adduction and mutagenesis recapitulate the unique mutational features of TP53 in AFB(1)-associated human HCC.
