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

During tumour development cells sustain mutations that disrupt normal mechanisms controlling proliferation. Remarkably, the Rb-E2f and MDM2-p53 pathways are both defective in most, if not all, human tumours, which underscores the crucial role of these pathways in regulating cell cycle progression and viability. A simple interpretation of the observation that both pathways are deregulated is that they function independently in the control of cell fate. However, a large body of evidence indicates that, in addition to their independent effects on cell fate, there is extensive crosstalk between these two pathways, and specifically between the transcription factors E2F1 and p53, which influences vital cellular decisions. This Review discusses the molecular mechanisms that underlie the intricate interactions between E2f and p53.
