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

Mutant p53(s) are widely considered as oncogenes and promote several gain-of-function oncogenic activities. p53 mutations correlate with higher rates of metastasis and poor survival; therefore, it is paramount to inhibit mutant p53 protein either directly or indirectly. Although some compounds have been developed, none of them have achieved a desirable level of specificity. Some of these compounds only targeted specific mutations. In search of less-toxic compounds, we tested plant-derived compounds on mutant p53 triple-negative breast cancer cell lines. Here, we show that the compounds tested reduced the protein levels of one of the more frequent oncogenic p53 mutants (R249S; hot spot mutation), and its important targets that promote invasion and metastasis, including GMPS and IMPDH1. All compounds tested perturbed the invasion potential of the breast cancer cell line. These compounds downregulated several nucleotide metabolism genes (NMGs) which are essential for cell cycle progression. We observed S-phase arrest correlating to reduced cell proliferation and increased replication stress. Moreover, we also show a reduction of key ETS transcription family members including ETS2, ETS1, ETV1, and ETV4, which are involved in invasion and metastasis. We propose that these compounds may inhibit invasion by interfering with multiple pathways. Our findings exemplify that these tested compounds could inhibit invasion and cell growth in TNBC in a nucleotide-dependent manner.
