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

Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) is a protein arginine methyltransferase that deposits asymmetrical dimethylation marks on both histone and nonhistone substrates. The regulatory role of CARM1 in transcription was first identified in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Since then, the mechanism of CARM1 in activating ER-target genes has been further interrogated. CARM1 is expressed at the highest level in ER negative (ER-) breast cancer and higher expression correlates with poor prognosis, suggesting an oncogenic role of CARM1. Indeed, in ER- breast cancer, CARM1 can promote proliferation and metastasis at least partly through methylation of proteins and activation of oncogenes. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms of transcriptional activation by CARM1 in breast cancer. The methyltransferase activity of CARM1 is important for many of its functions; here, we also highlight the nonenzymatic roles of CARM1. We also cover the biological processes regulated by CARM1 that are often deregulated in cancer and the ways to harness CARM1 in cancer treatment.
