Demethylation of EHMT1/GLP Protein Reprograms Its Transcriptional Activity and Promotes Prostate Cancer Progression.
Article in Cancer research communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Epigenetic reprogramming, mediated by genomic alterations and dysregulation of histone reader and writer proteins, plays a critical role in driving prostate cancer progression and treatment resistance. However, the specific function and regulation of EHMT1 (also known as GLP) and EHMT2 (also known as G9A), well-known histone 3 lysine 9 methyltransferases, in prostate cancer progression remain poorly understood. Through comprehensive investigations, we discovered that both EHMT1 and EHMT2 proteins have the ability to activate oncogenic transcription programs in prostate cancer cells. Silencing EHMT1/2 or targeting their enzymatic activity with small-molecule inhibitors can markedly decrease prostate cancer cell proliferation and metastasis Significance: In this study, we demonstrate that EHMT1 and EHMT2 proteins drive prostate cancer development by transcriptionally activating multiple oncogenic pathways. Mechanistically, the chromatin binding of EHMT1 is significantly expanded through demethylation of both lysine 450 and 451 residues, which can serve as a critical molecular switch to induce oncogenic transcriptional reprogramming in prostate cancer cells.
