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 mechanism why hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance by direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) does not eliminate the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among patients with advanced cirrhosis is unclear. Many viral and bacterial infections degrade p53 in favor of cell survival to adapt an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress response. In this study, we examined whether HCV clearance by interferon-alpha or DAAs normalizes the ER stress and restores the expression of p53 tumor suppressor in cell culture. We found that HCV infection induces chronic ER stress and unfolded protein response in untransformed primary human hepatocytes. The unfolded protein response induces chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) in infected primary human hepatocytes and Huh-7.5 cells that results in degradation of p53 and induced expression of mouse double minute 2 (Mdm2). Inhibition of p53/Mdm2 interactions by small molecule (nutlin-3) or silencing Mdm2 did not rescue the p53 degradation, indicating that HCV infection induces degradation of p53 independent of the Mdm2 pathway. Interestingly, we found that HCV infection degrades p53 in a lysosome-dependent mechanism because lysosome-associated membrane protein 2A silencing restored p53 degradation. Our results show that HCV clearance induced by interferon-alpha-based antiviral therapies normalizes the ER-stress response and restores p53, whereas HCV clearance by DAAs does neither. We show that decreased expression of p53 in HCV-infected cirrhotic liver is associated with expression of chaperones associated with ER stress and the CMA response.
