Maddeningly, I can't work out how to see what effects have been applied to a text layer. I can see the attributes when I expand the options on that layer, but I can't see any way of telling which actual effect is applied because it doesn't appear in the Effect Controls panel like for everything else. Please enlighten me.
I do appreciate the efforts you're going to, but I'm afraid I still don't see how this tells me which specific animation preset has been applied. It only shows me its attributes.

when you apply a text animation preset - you are applying a set of predefined values and keyframes that are constructed of text animators and sometimes also expression controls to a layer. the name for these bunch of properties together won't be visible anywhere else once you apply it because many times it includes many properties together that can't be grouped together as a single container that can be renamed. you shouldn't worry about that because once you apply a preset, you should know what it's doing anyway, but if you do want to name the text animators that this preset was constructed with, you can do that by hitting return on the animator and changing it's name.
this will explain how animation preset work:
