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 Hippo and mTOR signaling cascades are major regulators of cell growth and division. Aberrant regulation of these pathways has been demonstrated to contribute to gliomagenesis and result in enhanced glioblastoma proliferation and invasive characteristics. Several crosstalk mechanisms have been described between these two pathways, although a complete picture of these signaling interactions is lacking and is required for effective therapeutic targeting. Here we report the ability of mTORC2 to directly phosphorylate YAP at serine 436 (Ser
