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

backgroundWe utilized data-independent acquisition (DIA) to study the poorly understood biology of Mdm2 and MdmX in a p53-null context. Mdm2 and MdmX form an E3-ligase complex that has as its most well-studied function the negative regulation of the tumor suppressor p53; however, it is also known to interact with many other proteins in a p53-independent manner.

methodsIn this work, small-molecule and siRNA-based technology were used to modify Mdm2/MdmX activity in a human non-small-cell lung carcinoma cell line lacking p53 expression. Study of the proteome of these cells helped identify biological processes where Mdm2 and MdmX may play roles in a p53-independent manner. Proteins from H1299 cells, treated with the drug MEL23 or siRNA against Mdm2 or MdmX, were analyzed.

resultsProtein ontology and function were analyzed, revealing which pathways are affected by modulation of the proteins that form the complex. Insights into how those functions are dependent on the activity of the complex also gained via comparisons among the three groups of samples.

conclusionsWe selected a potential target from the DIA analysis and validated it by immunoblotting and qPCR, and this allows us to demonstrate a new interaction partner of the Mdm2-MdmX complex in human cells.
