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

objectiveRegulation of pancreatic beta-cell mass is essential to preserve sufficient insulin levels for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Previously, we reported that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) resulting from nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) deficiency induce apoptosis and, when combined with p53 deficiency, progressed rapidly into lymphomagenesis in mice. Combination of NHEJ deficiency with a hypomorphic mutation, p53R172P, leads to the abrogation of apoptosis, upregulation of p21, and senescence in precursor lymphocytes. This was sufficient to prevent tumorigenesis. However, these mutant mice succumb to severe diabetes and die at an early age. The aim of this study was to determine the pathogenesis of diabetes in these mutant mice. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsWe analyzed the morphology of the pancreatic islets and the function, proliferation rate, and senescence of beta-cells. We also profiled DNA damage and p53 and p21 expression in the pancreas.

resultsNHEJ-p53R172P mutant mice succumb to diabetes at 3-5 months of age. These mice show a progressive decrease in pancreatic islet mass that is independent of apoptosis and innate immunity. We observed an accumulation of DNA damage, accompanied with increased levels of p53 and p21, a significant decrease in beta-cell proliferation, and cellular senescence in the mutant pancreatic islets.

conclusionsCombined DSBs with an absence of p53-dependent apoptosis activate p53-dependent senescence, which leads to a diminished beta-cell self-replication, massive depletion of the pancreatic islets, and severe diabetes. This is a model that connects impaired DNA repair and accumulative DNA damage, a common phenotype in aging individuals, to the onset of diabetes.
