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

Approximately half of all cancers bear mutations in the tumor suppressor p53. Despite decades of research studying p53 function, treatment of p53-mutant cancers remains challenging owing to the effects of p53 mutations on many complex and interrelated signaling networks that promote tumor metastasis and chemoresistance. Mutations in p53 promote tumor survival by dysregulating cellular homeostasis and preventing activation of regulated cell death (RCD) pathways, which normally promote organismal health by eliminating dysregulated cells. Activation of RCD is a hallmark of effective cancer therapies, and p53-mutant cancers may be particularly susceptible to activation of certain RCD pathways. In this review, we discuss four RCD pathways that are the targets of emerging cancer therapeutics to treat p53-mutant cancers. These RCD pathways include E2F1-dependent apoptosis, necroptosis, mitochondrial permeability transition-driven necrosis, and ferroptosis. We discuss mechanisms of RCD activation, effects of p53 mutation on RCD activation, and current pharmaceutical strategies for RCD activation in p53-mutant cancers.
