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

Caenorhabditis elegans NRF (NF-E2-related factor)/CNC (Cap'n'collar) transcription factor, Skinhead-1 (SKN-1), is conservatively critical for promoting phase II detoxification gene expressions in response to oxidative stress. SKN-1 activity is controlled by well-known phosphorylation and recently-reported O-GlcNAcylation. Whether other kinds of posttanslational modifications of SKN-1 occur and influence its function remains elusive. Here, we found arginines 484 and 516 (R484/R516) of SKN-1 were asymmetrically dimethylated by PRMT-1. Oxidative stress enhanced the binding of PRMT-1 to SKN-1. Consequently, asymmetrical dimethylation of arginines on SKN-1 was elevated. Loss of prmt-1 or disruption of R484/R516 dimethylation decreased the enrichment of SKN-1 on the promoters of SKN-1-driven phase II detoxification genes, including gamma-glutamine cysteine synthetase gcs-1, glutathione S-transferases gst-7 and gst-4, which resulted in reduced ability of worms to defense against oxidative stress. These findings have important implications for investigating the physiological and pathological functions of arginine methylation on conserved NRF/CNC transcription factors in human diseases related to oxidative stress response.
