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

Aberrant mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling in skeletal muscle has been implicated in aging and insulin resistance; however, it is not known whether chronic mTORC1 activation directly causes glucose intolerance. We tested the hypothesis that constitutive mTORC1 activation in mouse skeletal muscle impairs glucose homeostasis. Six-month-old female and male mice with tamoxifen-inducible, muscle-specific knockout of the DEP domain containing 5, GATOR1 subcomplex subunit gene (
