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

BACKGROUND &

aimsEither activation of mTORC1 due to loss of Tsc1 (tuberous sclerosis complex 1) or defective hepatic autophagy due to loss of Atg5 leads to spontaneous liver tumorigenesis in mice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which autophagy contributes to the hepatic metabolic changes and tumorigenesis mediated by mTORC1 activation.

methodsAtg5 Flox/Flox (Atg5

conclusionsThese results reveal previously undescribed functions of hepatic p62 in suppressing tumorigenesis and regulating liver cell repopulation and metabolic reprogramming resulting from persistent mTORC1 activation and defective autophagy. LAY SUMMARY: Metabolic liver disease and viral hepatitis are common chronic liver diseases and risk factors of hepatocellular carcinoma, which are often associated with impaired hepatic autophagy and increased mTOR activation. Using multiple genetically engineered mouse models of defective hepatic autophagy and persistent mTOR activation, we dissected the complex mechanisms behind this observation. Our results uncovered an unexpected novel tumor suppressor function of p62/Sqstm1, which regulated liver cell repopulation, ductular reaction and metabolic reprogramming in liver tumorigenesis.
