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

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) accounts for 15-20% of liposarcoma (LPS) and has high rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis. Hyperactivation of yes-associated protein (YAP) has been implicated in DDLPS development. However, the mechanisms that drive aberrant YAP signaling remain largely unknown. Here, we show that tumor protein p53 inducible nuclear protein 2 (TP53INP2) is a potential negative modulator of the malignant progression of DDLPS. The TP53INP2 protein expression level in tumor tissues from 79 patients with DDLPS decreased progressively. Compared with primary tumors, recurrent tumors also exhibited reduced TP53INP2 expression. More importantly, low TP53INP2 expression is correlated with poor prognosis. TP53INP2 gain- or loss-of-function experiments in DDLPS cell lines showed profound inhibitory effects on processes and properties linked with cancer malignancy, such as proliferation, migration, stemness and dedifferentiation. Mechanistically, TP53INP2 is located mainly in mitochondria and promotes mitophagic degradation of YAP in a VDAC1-dependent manner. The WW domain in YAP and the PPTY motif in VDAC1 are required for their interaction. Taken together, these data demonstrate that TP53INP2 represses the malignant progression of DDLPS by inactivating YAP via a mitophagy-dependent mechanism and that TP53INP2 may constitute a novel prognostic biomarker for advanced DDLPS.
