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

Recent emphasis has been placed on the role of epigenetic regulators and epigenetic marks as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, and as therapeutic targets for treatment. One such class of regulators is the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family. The present study examined available curated data regarding the expression and alteration of one of the least studied PRMT family members, PRMT8, in various types of cancer and cancer cell lines. Publicly available cancer data on PRMT8 expression were examined using the Human Protein Atlas and the Kaplan-Meier Plotter, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to screen a selection of human cell lines for variant-specific
