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

Target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is an evolutionarily conserved protein kinase complex, whose activation in response to nutrients suppresses autophagy. In mammalian cells, amino-acid stimuli induce lysosomal translocation and activation of MTORC1 through the RRAG GTPase heterodimer, which is tethered to the surface of lysosomes by the Ragulator complex. Our recent study demonstrated that the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe also has a Ragulator complex that anchors the Gtr1-Gtr2 Rag GTPase heterodimer to the vacuole, a lysosome-like organelle. Unexpectedly, however, neither vacuolar localization nor activation of TORC1 is dependent on the Rag-Ragulator complex, which instead plays a critical role in attenuating TORC1 signaling. Our findings suggest dual functionality of the Rag GTPase in both activation and inactivation of TORC1.
