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

In addition to the ubiquitous loss of the VHL gene in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), co-deletions of chromatin-regulating genes are common drivers of tumorigenesis, suggesting potential vulnerability to epigenetic manipulation. A library of chemical probes targeting a spectrum of epigenetic regulators is screened using a panel of ccRCC models. MS023, a type I protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) inhibitor, is identified as an antitumorigenic agent. Individual knockdowns indicate PRMT1 as the specific critical dependency for cancer growth. Further analyses demonstrate impairments to cell cycle and DNA damage repair pathways upon MS023 treatment or PRMT1 knockdown. PRMT1-specific proteomics reveals an interactome rich in RNA binding proteins and further investigation indicates significant widespread disruptions in mRNA metabolism with both MS023 treatment and PRMT1 knockdown, resulting in R-loop accumulation and DNA damage over time. Our data supports PRMT1 as a target in ccRCC and informs a mechanism-based strategy for translational development.
