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

backgroundThe apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53 (ASPP) family comprises three members, namely, ASPP1, ASPP2, and iASPP. They regulate the promotive effect of p53 on apoptosis. Breast cancer (BC) remains as one of the leading causes of cancer or cancer-related mortality among women. However, the relationship between the ASPP family members and p53, as well as the dissemination and expression pattern of ASPP family members in p53+ BC, has not been elucidated. Our objectives are to detect the expression of ASPP family members in p53+ BC cell lines and determine its significance in tumor cell apoptosis.

methodsThe mRNA expression of ASPP family members in five p53+ BC cell lines was detected through RT-PCR and assayed using Quality-one software. The p53 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. Afterward, the apoptosis indices of the five BC cell lines were detected by flow cytometry.

resultsThe iASPP mRNA was expressed in Bcap-37, MCF-7, and HBL-100. Compared with the human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, significant differences were found in the ASPP1 mRNA in Bcap-37, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and HBL-100 (p < 0.05), except that in ZR-75-30 (p > 0.05). The ASPP2 mRNA was expressed in MDA-MB-231, Bcap-37, and MCF-7, but not in HBL-100 and ZR-75-30. The p53 protein was expressed in five breast cancer cell lines. ZR-75-30 and MDA-MB-231 apoptosis indices were higher than those of other breast cancer cell line and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (p < 0.01).

conclusionsThe mRNA expression of ASPP family members varied in the five p53+ BC cell lines. The results also verified that the family members have an important function in apoptosis, which was promoted by p53 protein. ZR-75-30 BC showed high apoptosis index, without expression of any ASPP family members, indicating that the pathway of apoptosis in this cell line may be related to other cell transduction pathway. MDA-MB-231, Bcap37, and MCF-7 cell lines all expressed ASPP1/2. However, the apoptosis pathway in MDA-MB-231 is different from those of the other two cell lines. The status of the different cell lines should also be considered when the functions of the ASPP family members are examined.
