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

p53 is a master transcription factor best known for its tumor-suppressing properties. However, its significance extends beyond cancer to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. In addition to its classic effects on the cell cycle and apoptosis, mounting evidence reveals that p53 exerts various non-classical functions, including regulating immunological responses, inflammation, angiogenesis, fibrosis, and other programmed cell death modalities such as ferroptosis. Thus, p53 is critical for maintaining homeostasis and immune tolerance. Dysregulations of p53, including altered expression and mutations in individuals with autoimmune diseases, may contribute to aberrant immune responses, chronic inflammation, organ damage, and disease progression. In this review, we first briefly discuss the canonical and non-canonical functions of p53 and then explore these functions in autoimmune rheumatic disorders. The aim is to illuminate underexplored areas to guide future research that will enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of these diseases, focusing on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and systemic sclerosis (SSc). Lastly, we will discuss the potential of p53-based therapies, such as p53 activators, to restore normal p53 activity in autoimmune diseases, which could transform treatment options for these chronic and refractory conditions.
