Cooperation between PRMT1 and PRMT6 drives lung cancer health disparities among Black/African American men.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Lung cancer is the third most common cancer with Black/AA men showing higher risk and poorer outcomes than NHW men. Lung cancer disparities are multifactorial, driven by tobacco exposure, inequities in care access, upstream health determinants, and molecular determinants including biological and genetic factors. Elevated expressions of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) correlating with poorer prognosis have been observed in many cancers. Most importantly, our study shows that PRMT6 displays higher expression in lung cancer tissues of Black/AA men compared to NHW men. In this study, we investigated the underlying mechanism of PRMT6 and its cooperation with PRMT1 to form a heteromer as a driver of lung cancer. Disrupting PRMT1/PRMT6 heteromer by a competitive peptide reduced proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines and patient-derived organoids, therefore, giving rise to a more strategic approach in the treatment of Black/AA men with lung cancer and to eliminate cancer health disparities.
