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 &

aimsHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) develops in response to chronic hepatic injury. Although induced cell death is regarded as the major component of p53 tumor-suppressive activity, we recently found that sustained p53 activation subsequent to DNA damage promotes inflammation-associated hepatocarcinogenesis. Here we aim at exploring the mechanism linking p53 activation and hepatic inflammation during hepatocarcinogenesis.

methodsp53(-/-) hepatocytes expressing inducible p53 and primary wild type hepatocytes were treated to induce p53 expression. The supernatants were collected and analyzed for the presence of released inflammatory cytokines. Ethyl pyruvate was used in a rat model of carcinogen-induced hepatocarcinogenesis to examine its effect on p53-dependent chronic hepatic injury, inflammation, and tumorigenesis.

resultsHere we show that cytoplasmic translocation and circulating levels of potent inflammatory molecule high-mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) were greater in wild type rats than in p53(+/-) rats following carcinogen administration. Restoration of p53 expression in p53-null hepatocytes or induction of endogenous p53 in wild type hepatocytes gives rise to the release of HMGB1. Administration of the HMGB1 release inhibitor ethyl pyruvate, which does not affect p53-mediated hepatic apoptosis, substantially prevented carcinogen-induced cirrhosis and tumorigenesis in rat livers.

conclusionsThese results suggest that although p53 is usually regarded as a tumor suppressor, its constant activation can promote pro-tumorigenic inflammation, at least in part, via inducing HMGB1 release. Application of HMGB1 inhibitors when restoring p53 in cancer therapy might protect against pro-tumorigenic effects while leaving p53-mediated clearance of malignant cells intact.
