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 tumor suppressor p53 is of crucial importance in the prevention of cellular transformation. In the presence of cellular stress signals, the negative feedback loop between p53 and Mdm2, its main negative regulator, is disrupted, which results in the activation and stabilization of p53. Via a complex interplay between both transcription-dependent and - independent functions of p53, the cell will go through transient cell cycle arrest, cellular senescence or apoptosis. However, it remains difficult to completely fathom the mechanisms behind p53 regulation and its responses, considering the presence of multiple layers involved in fine-tuning them. In order to take the next step forward, novel research tools are urgently needed. We have developed single-domain antibodies, also known as nanobodies, that specifically bind with the N-terminal transactivation domain of wild type p53, but that leave the function of p53 as a transcriptional transactivator intact. When the nanobodies are equipped with a mitochondrial-outer-membrane (MOM)-tag, we can capture p53 at the mitochondria. This nanobody-induced mitochondrial delocalization of p53 is, in specific cases, associated with a decrease in cell viability and with morphological changes in the mitochondria. These findings underpin the potential of nanobodies as bona fide research tools to explore protein function and to unravel their biochemical pathways.
