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.
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 Seh1-associated complex (SEAC; GATOR in mammals) transduces amino acid signals to the Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (TORC1), a master regulator of cell growth. The SEAC is composed of two subcomplexes, SEACIT (GATOR1), an inhibitor of TORC1 that has GAP activity against Gtr1, and SEACAT (GATOR2), which appears to regulate SEACIT. However, the molecular details of this regulation are unclear. Here we determined the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the SEAC bound to its substrate, the EGOC (Ragulator-Rag), and studied its function in TORC1 amino acid signaling. A single SEAC can interact with two EGOC molecules via SEACIT, binding exclusively to the 'active' version of the EGOC, without involvement of SEACAT. The GAP activity of the SEACIT is essential for the regulation of TORC1 by amino acids and its loss phenocopies the lack of Gtr1-Gtr2, establishing the SEAC-EGOC complex as an amino acid-sensing hub. Compared to other SEACAT subunits, the loss of Sea2, or its N-terminal β-propeller domain, yielded strong defects in amino acid signaling to TORC1. Our results suggest that the Sea2 β-propeller recruits a GAP inhibitor to mediate fast amino acid signaling to TORC1, with additional pathways acting with slower kinetics.
