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

Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene TP53 have been identified in breast cancer-associated fibroblasts and are associated with poor patient prognosis. However, the functional impact of fibroblastic mutant p53 on breast cancer development remains unclear. To investigate this, we compared female mice harboring HER2-driven mammary tumors with a fibroblast-specific Trp53 mutation (NP) to those with wild-type fibroblastic Trp53 (N). NP mice exhibited significantly shorter median tumor-free survival than N mice. RNA sequencing of NP and N tumors and mammary glands revealed numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between tumors and the corresponding glands in both genotypes. Notably, the NP tumors showed enrichment of several signaling pathways, including PI3K/AKT/mTOR. Additionally, fifteen DEGs encoding secreted proteins were identified between NP and N mammary glands. Among these, SAA1 and SAA2 were also upregulated in human breast tumors with mutant TP53 compared to those with wild-type TP53. Previous studies have implicated SAA1, SAA2, and THBS4 in promoting tumor progression via the PI3K/AKT pathway. Consistently, supplementing primary HER2-positive tumor cultures with recombinant SAA1, SAA2, or THBS4 peptides enhanced tumor cell proliferation and migration. Together, these findings uncover a mechanism by which fibroblastic mutant p53 promotes mammary tumorigenesis-through upregulating secretory proteins such as SAA1, SAA2, and THBS4 in the stroma, thereby enhancing PI3K/AKT signaling and tumor progression.
