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

Somatic mutations in genes regulating mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway signaling can cause epilepsy, autism, and cognitive dysfunction. Research has predominantly focused on mTOR regulation of excitatory neurons in these conditions; however, dysregulated mTOR signaling among interneurons may also be critical. In this review, we discuss clinical evidence for interneuron involvement, and potential mechanisms, known and hypothetical, by which interneurons might come to directly harbor pathogenic mutations. To understand how mTOR hyperactive interneurons might drive dysfunction, we review studies in which mTOR signaling has been selectively disrupted among interneurons and interneuron progenitors in mouse model systems. Complex cellular mosaicism and dual roles for mTOR (hyper)activation in mediating disease pathogenesis and homeostatic responses raise challenging questions for effective treatment of these disorders.
