mTOR: Driving apoptosis and autophagy for neurocardiac complications of diabetes mellitus.
Article in World journal of diabetes, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers.
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.
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
The World Health Organization estimates that diabetes mellitus (DM) will become the seventh leading cause of death during the next two decades. DM affects approximately 350 million individuals worldwide and additional millions that remain undiagnosed are estimated to suffer from the complications of DM. Although the complications of DM can be seen throughout the body, the nervous, cardiac, and vascular systems can be significantly affected and lead to disorders that include cognitive loss, stroke, atherosclerosis, cardiac failure, and endothelial stem cell impairment. At the cellular level, oxidative stress is a significant determinant of cell fate during DM and leads to endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and autophagy. Multiple strategies are being developed to combat the complications of DM, but it is the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) that is gaining interest in drug development circles especially for protective therapies that involve cytokines and growth factors such as erythropoietin. The pathways of mTOR linked to mTOR complex 1, mTOR complex 2, AMP activated protein kinase, and the hamartin (tuberous sclerosis 1)/tuberin (tuberous sclerosis 2) complex can ultimately influence neuronal, cardiac, and vascular cell survival during oxidant stress in DM through a fine interplay between apoptosis and autophagy. Further understanding of these mTOR regulated pathways should foster novel strategies for the complications of DM that impact millions of individuals with death and disability.
