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 p53 tumor suppressor is a DNA-damage-responsive sequence-specific transcriptional activator. The sustained activation of the p53 response is incompatible with cell growth and viability. To circumvent this issue, a variety of negative feedback loops exist to limit the duration of p53 activation. Despite our understanding of p53 regulation, very little is known about the effect of transient p53 activation on the long-term expression of p53 target genes. Here we used a temperature-sensitive variant of p53 and oligonucleotide microarrays to monitor gene expression during and following reversible p53 activation. The expression of most p53-induced transcripts was rapidly reversible, consistent with active mRNA decay. Representative 3' UTRs derived from short-lived transcripts (i.e., DDB2 and GDF15) conferred instability on a heterologous mRNA, while 3' UTRs derived from more stable transcripts (i.e., CRYAB and TP53I3) did not. The 3' UTRs derived from unstable p53-induced mRNAs were significantly longer than those derived from stable mRNAs. These 3' UTRs had high uridine and low cytosine content, leading to a higher density of U-, AU-, and GU-rich sequences. Remarkably, short-lived p53 targets were induced faster, reaching maximum transcript levels earlier than the stable p53 targets. Taken together, the evidence indicates that the p53 transcriptional response has evolved with primarily short-lived target mRNAs and that post-transcription processes play a prominent role in the p53 response.
