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 tumour suppressor has an important role in cancer cells. Here we show that p53 regulates expression of major histocompatibility complex I on the cell surface. We show that the tumour cell line HCT116, which lacks p53 exhibits significantly lower major histocompatibility complex I expression than its wild-type counterpart. Using a combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and gene expression analysis, we demonstrate that p53 upregulates expression of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 by binding to its cognate response element in the ERAP1 gene. Silencing of p53 decreases endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 protein levels and therefore major histocompatibility complex I expression. We further show that this mechanism operates in A549 cells infected with H1N1 influenza virus, in which H1N1 activates p53, leading to endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 upregulation and a corresponding increase in major histocompatibility complex I expression. Our study suggests a previously unrecognized link between p53 function and the immunosurveillance of cancer and infection.
