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

p53 is one of the most well-studied tumor suppressors. It is mutated or deleted in half of all cancers. In the other half carrying wild type p53, the p53 signaling pathway is disrupted by abnormalities of other components in the pathway. Due to its paramount role in tumor suppression, p53 has attracted great interest in drug development as any clinically successful therapeutic agent to target the p53 pathway will save millions of lives. However, designing therapeutics targeting the pathway has been extremely challenging, despite more than forty years of research. This review will summarize past and current efforts of developing p53-based gene therapy and targeted therapies for cancer treatment. In addition, the current efforts of exploiting the immunogenicity of p53 protein for cancer immunotherapy will be reviewed. Challenges and future directions for targeting the p53 pathway will be discussed.
