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

Among other signals, cell growth is particularly controlled by the target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway that includes the tuberous sclerosis complex genes (TSC1/2), and through transcriptional effects regulated by c-myc. Overexpression of Drosophila Myc and TSC1/2 cause opposing growth and proliferation defects. Despite this relationship, direct regulatory connections between Myc and the TSC have only recently been evaluated. Other than studies of p53 regulation, little consideration has been given to transcriptional regulation of the TSC genes. Here we review evidence that transcriptional controls are potentially important regulators of TSC2 expression, and that Myc is a direct repressor of its expression. Since tuberin loss de-represses Myc protein, the connection between these two growth regulators is positioned to act as a feed-forward loop that would amplify the oncogenic effects of decreased tuberin or increased Myc. Further experiments will be needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying this important connection, and evaluate its overall contribution to cancers caused by TSC loss or Myc gain.
