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

Transcription factor E2F-1 and its interaction with pRb provide a key point of control in cell proliferation. E2F-1 participates in both cell cycle progression and apoptosis, and in cells exists with a DP dimerization partner protein, the most prominent being DP-1. By mining the tumor tissue and cancer cell line encyclopedia genomic databases, we identified the first somatic mutations in the DP-1 gene and describe 53 distinct mutation events here. The mutations are mostly missense mutations, but also include nonsense and frame-shift mutations that result in truncated DP-1 derivatives. Mutation occurs throughout the DP-1 gene but generally leaves protein dimerization activity intact. This allows the mutant derivatives to affect the properties of the E2F-1/DP-1 heterodimer through a transdominant mechanism, which changes the DNA binding, transcriptional activation and pRb-binding properties of the heterodimer. In particular, many DP-1 mutants were found to impair E2F-1-dependent apoptosis. Our results establish that somatic mutations in DP-1 uncouple normal control of the E2F pathway, and thus define a new mechanism that could contribute to aberrant proliferation in tumor cells.
