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

Amino acids stimulate cell growth and suppress autophagy through activation of mTORC1. The activation of mTORC1 by amino acids is mediated by Rag guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) heterodimers on the lysosome. The molecular mechanism by which amino acids regulate the Rag GTPase heterodimers remains to be elucidated. Here, we identify SH3 domain-binding protein 4 (SH3BP4) as a binding protein and a negative regulator of Rag GTPase complex. SH3BP4 binds to the inactive Rag GTPase complex through its Src homology 3 (SH3) domain under conditions of amino acid starvation and inhibits the formation of active Rag GTPase complex. As a consequence, the binding abrogates the interaction of mTORC1 with Rag GTPase complex and the recruitment of mTORC1 to the lysosome, thus inhibiting amino acid-induced mTORC1 activation and cell growth and promoting autophagy. These results demonstrate that SH3BP4 is a negative regulator of the Rag GTPase complex and amino acid-dependent mTORC1 signaling.
