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

Older individuals with somatic TP53 mutations manifest clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and are at high risk of developing myeloid neoplasms. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we show that inflammatory stress confers a competitive advantage to p53 mutant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) by activating the NLRP1 inflammasome and increasing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, inhibiting WT HSPC fitness in a paracrine fashion. During aging, mutant p53 dysregulates pre-mRNA splicing in HSPCs, leading to enhanced NF-κB activation and increased secretion of IL-1β and IL-6, thereby generating a chronic inflammatory bone marrow microenvironment. Furthermore, blocking IL-1β with IL-1β neutralizing antibody or inhibiting IL-1β secretion using gasdermin D inhibitor decreases the fitness of p53 mutant HSPCs. Thus, our findings uncover an important role for mutant p53 in regulating inflammatory signaling in CH and suggest that curbing inflammation may prevent the progression of TP53-mutant CH to myeloid neoplasms.
