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

Mammals respond to dietary nutrient fluctuations; for example, deficiency of dietary protein or an imbalance of essential amino acids activates an amino acid response (AAR) signal transduction pathway, consisting of detection of uncharged tRNA by the GCN2 kinase, eIF2alpha phosphorylation and ATF4 expression. In concert with heterodimerization partners, ATF4 activates specific genes via a CCAAT-enhancer binding protein-activating transcription factor response element (CARE). This review outlines the ATF4-dependent transcriptional mechanisms associated with the AAR, focusing on progress during the past 5 years. Recent evidence suggests that maternal nutrient deprivation not only has immediate metabolic effects on the fetus, but also triggers gene expression changes in adulthood, possibly through epigenetic mechanisms. Therefore, understanding the transcriptional programs initiated by amino acid limitation is crucial and timely.
