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

Protein arginine methyltransferase 10 (PRMT10) is a type I arginine methyltransferase that is essential for regulating flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana. We present a 2.6 Å resolution crystal structure of A. thaliana PRMT 10 (AtPRMT10) in complex with a reaction product, S-adenosylhomocysteine. The structure reveals a dimerization arm that is 12-20 residues longer than PRMT structures elucidated previously; as a result, the essential AtPRMT10 dimer exhibits a large central cavity and a distinctly accessible active site. We employ molecular dynamics to examine how dimerization facilitates AtPRMT10 motions necessary for activity, and we show that these motions are conserved in other PRMT enzymes. Finally, functional data reveal that the 10 N-terminal residues of AtPRMT10 influence substrate specificity, and that enzyme activity is dependent on substrate protein sequences distal from the methylation site. Taken together, these data provide insights into the molecular mechanism of AtPRMT10, as well as other members of the PRMT family of enzymes. They highlight differences between AtPRMT10 and other PRMTs but also indicate that motions are a conserved element of PRMT function.
