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

In this review we highlight recent progress in the study of Rheb family GTPases. Structural studies using X-ray crystallography and NMR have given us insight into unique features of this GTPase. Combined with mutagenesis studies, these works have expanded our understanding of residues that affect Rheb GTP/GDP bound ratios, effector protein interactions, and stimulation of mTORC1 signaling. Analysis of cancer genome databases has revealed that several human carcinomas contain activating mutations of the protein. Rheb's role in activating mTORC1 signaling at the lysosome in response to stimuli has been further elucidated. Rheb has also been suggested to play roles in other cellular pathways including mitophagy and peroxisomal ROS response. A number of studies in mice have demonstrated the importance of Rheb in development, as well as in a variety of functions including cardiac protection and myelination. We conclude with a discussion of future prospects in the study of Rheb family GTPases.
