Integration of nutrient, energy, light, and hormone signalling via TOR in plants.
Review in Journal of experimental botany, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 79 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 multidomain target of rapamycin (TOR) is an atypical serine/threonine protein kinase resembling phosphatidylinositol lipid kinases, but retains high sequence identity and serves a remarkably conserved role as a master signalling integrator in yeasts, plants, and humans. TOR dynamically orchestrates cell metabolism, biogenesis, organ growth, and development transitions in response to nutrient, energy, hormone, and environmental cues. Here we review recent findings on the versatile and complex roles of TOR in transcriptome reprogramming, seedling, root, and shoot growth, and root hair production activated by sugar and energy signalling. We explore how co-ordination of TOR-mediated light and hormone signalling is involved in root and shoot apical meristem activation, proliferation of leaf primordia, cotyledon/leaf greening, and hypocotyl elongation. We also discuss the emerging TOR functions in response to sulfur assimilation and metabolism and consider potential molecular links and positive feedback loops between TOR, sugar, energy, and other essential macronutrients.
