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 amino acid-stimulated Rag GTPase pathway is one of the main pathways that regulate mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activation and function, but little is known about the effects of growth factors on Rag GTPase-mediated mTORC1 activation. Here, a highly conserved insulin-responsive phosphorylation site on folliculin (FLCN), Ser62, that is phosphorylates by AKT1 is identified and characterized. mTORC2-AKT1 is localized on lysosomes, and RagD-specific recruitment of mTORC2-AKT1 on lysosomes is identified as an essential step in insulin-AKT1-mediated FLCN phosphorylation. Additionally, FLCN phosphorylation inhibits the activity of RagC GTPase and is essential for insulin-induced mTORC1 activation. Functionally, phosphorylated FLCN promotes cell viability and induces autophagy, and also regulates in vivo tumor growth in an mTORC1-dependent manner. Its expression is also positively correlated with mTORC1 activity in colon cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, and chordoma. These results indicate that FLCN is an important intermediate for cross-talk between the amino acid and growth factor pathways. Further, FLCN phosphorylation may be a promising therapeutic target for diseases characterized by mTORC1 dysregulation.
