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

Intrinsic tumor-suppressive mechanisms protect normal cells against aberrant proliferation. Although cellular signaling pathways engaged in tumor repression have been largely identified, how they are orchestrated to fulfill their function still remains elusive. Here, we built a tumor-suppressive network model composed of three modules responsible for the regulation of cell proliferation, activation of p53, and induction of apoptosis. Numerical simulations show a rich repertoire of network dynamics when normal cells are subject to serum stimulation and adenovirus E1A overexpression. We showed that oncogenic signaling induces ARF and that ARF further promotes p53 activation to inhibit proliferation. Mitogenic signaling activates E2F activators and promotes Akt activation. p53 and E2F1 cooperate to induce apoptosis, whereas Akt phosphorylates p21 to repress caspase activation. These prosurvival and proapoptotic signals compete to dictate the cell fate of proliferation, cell-cycle arrest, or apoptosis. The cellular outcome is also impacted by the kinetic mode (ultrasensitivity or bistability) of p53. When cells are exposed to serum deprivation and recovery under fixed E1A, the shortest starvation time required for apoptosis induction depends on the terminal serum concentration, which was interpreted in terms of the dynamics of caspase-3 activation and cytochrome
