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 transcription factors FOXO4 and p53 regulate aging, and their deregulation has been linked to several diseases, including cancer. Under stress conditions, cellular senescence is promoted by p53 sequestration and senescence-associated protein p21 transcriptional upregulation induced by interactions between the FOXO4 Forkhead DNA-binding domain and the p53 transactivation domain. However, the molecular details of these interactions remain unclear. Here, we report that these interactions between p53 and FOXO4 domains are highly heterogeneous. The p53 transactivation domain primarily interacts with the region formed by the N-terminal helical bundle of the FOXO4 Forkhead domain but retains a substantial degree of flexibility in the complex. In addition, NMR data-driven molecular simulations suggest that p53 interacts with FOXO4 through multiple binding modes. Overall, our findings not only provide the structural insights into interactions between FOXO4 and p53 but also highlight their potential as targets for developing senolytic compounds.
