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

The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is regulated, in part, by the endogenous inhibitor DEPTOR. However, the mechanism of DEPTOR regulation with regard to rapid mTORC1 activation remains unknown. We report that DEPTOR is rapidly and temporarily dissociated from mTORC1 upon mitogenic stimulation, suggesting a mechanism underlying acute mTORC1 activation. This mitogen-stimulated DEPTOR dissociation is blocked by inhibition or depletion of the mTORC1 regulator, phospholipase D (PLD), and recapitulated with the addition of the PLD product phosphatidic acid (PA). Our mass spectrometry analysis has independently identified DEPTOR as an mTOR binding partner dissociated by PA. Interestingly, only PA species with unsaturated fatty acid chains, such as those produced by PLD, are capable of displacing DEPTOR and activating mTORC1, with high affinity for the FRB domain of mTOR. Our findings reveal a mechanism of mTOR regulation and provide a molecular explanation for the exquisite specificity of PA function.
