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

objectiveLeucyl-tRNA synthetase (LRS) is an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzing ligation of leucine to its cognate tRNA and is involved in the activation of mTORC1 by sensing cytoplasmic leucine. In this study, the usefulness of LRS as a therapeutic target of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the anticancer effect of the LRS inhibitor, BC-LI-0186, was evaluated.

methodsLRS expression and the antitumor effect of BC-LI-0186 were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining, immunoblotting, and live cell imaging. The

resultsLRS was frequently overexpressed in NSCLC tissues, and its expression was positively correlated with mTORC1 activity. The guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) binding status of RagB was related to the expression of LRS and the S6K phosphorylation.

conclusionsBC-LI-0186 inhibits the noncanonical mTORC1-activating function of LRS. These results provide a new therapeutic strategy for NSCLC and warrant future clinical development by targeting LRS.
