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 Target of Rapamycin kinase Complex I (TORC1) is a central hub in the cell growth and metabolic control network of eukaryotes. How its upstream regulators cooperate to tune signaling across environmental conditions remains unclear. Here, we combine phosphoproteomics, TORC1 activity assays, and targeted genetic perturbations to dissect TORC1 regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during transitions from a high-quality nitrogen source (glutamine) to a low-quality nitrogen source (proline), and on to complete nitrogen starvation. In proline medium, Ait1 and Gcn2 attenuate TORC1 activity, establishing a partially inhibited "Low Nitrogen Adaptive" state marked by extensive metabolic reprogramming without growth arrest. In contrast, during nitrogen starvation, SEAC, Ait1, and Gcn2 cooperate to drive TORC1 into a fully inhibited state, triggering widespread dephosphorylation of its downstream targets and entry into quiescence. Our results define a multilayered regulatory circuit that governs graded TORC1 control-a design likely conserved across eukaryotes.
