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

How cells choose between developmental pathways remains a fundamental biological question. In the case of the p53 protein family, its three transcription factors (p73, p63, and p53) each trigger a gene expression pattern that leads to specific cellular pathways. At the same time, these transcription factors recognize the same response element (RE) consensus sequences, and their transactivation of target genes overlaps. We aimed to understand target gene selectivity at the molecular level by determining the crystal structures of the p73 DNA-binding domain (DBD) in complex with full-site REs that vary in sequence. We report two structures of the p73 DBD bound as a tetramer to 20-bp full-site REs based on two distinct quarter-sites: GAACA and GAACC. Our study confirms that the DNA-binding residues are conserved within the p53 family, whereas the dimerization and tetramerization interfaces diverge. Moreover, a conserved lysine residue in loop L1 of the DBD senses the presence of guanines in positions 2 and 3 of the quarter-site RE, whereas a conserved arginine in loop 3 adapts to changes in position 5. Sequence variations in the RE elicit a p73 conformational response that might explain target gene specificity.
