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

Arginine methylation is a prevalent posttranslational modification which is deposited by a family of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), and is found in three different forms in mammalian cells: monomethylarginine (MMA), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA). Pan-methylarginine antibodies are critical for identifying proteins that are methylated on arginine residues, and are also used for evaluating signaling pathways that modulate this methyltransferase activity. Although good pan-MMA, -ADMA and -SDMA antibodies have been developed over the years, there is still room for improvement. Here we use a novel antigen approach, which involves the separation of short methylated motifs with inert polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers, to generate a set of pan antibodies to the full range of methylarginine marks. Using these antibodies, we observed substrate scavenging by PRMT1, when PRMT5 activity is blocked. Specifically, we find that the splicing factor SmD1 displays increased ADMA levels upon PRMT5 inhibitor treatment. Furthermore, when the catalysis of both SDMA and ADMA is blocked with small molecule inhibitors, we demonstrate that SmD1 and SMN no longer interact. This could partially explain the synergistic effect of PRMT5 and type I PRMT inhibition on RNA splicing and cancer cell growth.
