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 p53 tumor suppressor transcriptionally regulates a myriad of genes involved in cell cycle control, DNA repair, cell survival, and cell metabolism and represents one of the most well-studied inhibitors of tumorigenesis. Since the discovery of TP53 in 1979, somatic mutations have been shown to be extremely common; more than 50% of human cancers carry loss-of-function mutations in TP53. Inherited or germline TP53 mutations are rare and are involved in complex hereditary cancer predisposition disorders, and affected family members can develop diverse tumor types and multiple primary cancers at young ages. In Brazil, a fascinating history of p53 and cancer predisposition began in the year 2000 with identification of the TP53 p.R337H mutation in close association with the development of adrenocortical tumors. In these past 20 years, much has been learned about the genetics and biochemistry of this mutation, which is widespread in Brazil because of a founder effect. This review highlights the contributions of TP53 p.R337H research over the last 20 years, the findings of which have sparked passionate debate among researchers worldwide, to understanding cancer predisposition in Brazilian individuals and families.
