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

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that belongs to Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase related kinase superfamily. The signaling pathways of mTOR are integrated through the protein complexes of mTORC1 and mTORC2. mTORC1 controls protein synthesis, cell growth, proliferation, autophagy, cell metabolism, and stress responses, whereas mTORC2 seems to regulate cell survival and polarity. Dysregulation of the mTOR pathway has been implicated in the pathophysiology of a number of disease conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and various renal diseases. The hyperactivation of the mTOR pathway leads to increase in cell growth and proliferation and also has been documented to stimulate tumor growth. Therefore, investigation of the involvement of mTOR and its downstream pathways in various diseases intensively preoccupied scientific community. The present review is focussed on recent advances in the understanding of the mTOR signaling pathway and its role in health and various diseases.
