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 methyltransferases (PRMTs), an emerging target class in drug discovery, can methylate histones and other substrates, and can be divided into three subgroups, based on the methylation pattern of the reaction product (monomethylation, symmetrical or asymmetrical dimethylation). Here, we review the growing body of structural information characterizing this protein family, including structures in complex with substrate-competitive and allosteric inhibitors. We outline structural differences between type I, II and III enzymes and propose a model underlying class-specificity. We analyze the structural plasticity and diversity of the substrate, cofactor and allosteric binding sites, and propose that the conformational dynamics of PRMTs can be exploited towards the discovery of allosteric inhibitors that would antagonize conformationally active states.
