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 1 (PRMT1), which primarily causes asymmetric arginine methylation of histone and nonhistone proteins, has been found to activate gene expression and mediate multiple pathological processes. Its role in renal fibrosis, however, remains unclear. In the present study, we observed that PRMT1 and its specific epigenetic marker, asymmetric di-methylated histone 4 arginine 3 (H4R3Me2a), were highly expressed in cultured renal interstitial fibroblasts. Treatment of PRMT1 with AMI-1, a selective inhibitor of PRMT1, or silencing PRMT1 with siRNA inhibited serum-induced and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β
