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

Hotspot p53 mutant proteins often gain novel functions in promoting tumor metastases. However, the molecular mechanisms by which mutant p53 exerts gain-of-function in cancer are not totally understood. In this study, we demonstrate that hotspot mutant p53, p53-R273H, promotes cell scattering growth and migration via inhibiting the expression of Krupple-like factor 6 (KLF6), a Zinc finger transcription factor and a documented tumor suppressor. Restoration of KLF6 increases the expression of E-cadherin downregulated by p53-R273H and inhibits p53-R273H-induced cell migration and tumor metastasis. Further, p53-R273H reduces KLF6 transcription by upregulating EGFR expression which in turn activates AKT-FOXO1 axis. Pharmacological inhibitor of AKT, MK2206, rescues KLF6 expression and suppresses p53-R273H-induced cell migration. Clinical analyses reveal that KLF6 expression is decreased in human breast cancer specimens harboring p53 mutations, and negatively correlated with EGFR expression in human breast cancer. In addition, low expression of KLF6 is associated with poor overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) in p53 mutated human breast cancer patients. Together, these results reveal an important role for EGFR-AKT-FOXO1-KLF6-E-cadherin axis in mutant p53-induced cell migration and tumor metastasis.
