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 tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence indicates that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 acts as a key splicing regulator that contributes to p53-dependent tumor suppression in vitro and in vivo. However, the mechanism by which ZMAT3 functions within the p53 pathway remains largely unclear. Here, we discovered a function of ZMAT3 in inhibiting transcription of
