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

Programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4) is a well-established tumor suppressor and inhibitor of protein translation. Although Pdcd4-mediated translational repression contributes to tumor suppression, emerging evidence suggests that Pdcd4 also exerts translation-independent functions. In this study, we found that Pdcd4 suppresses tumorigenesis through direct interaction with the rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR (Rictor), a core component of the mTORC2 complex. Using deletion mapping and site-directed mutagenesis, we defined the Rictor-binding domain of Pdcd4 and identified three critical residues, R105, K108, and R110, for this interaction. Co-immunoprecipitation and
