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

Abnormal epigenetic modifications are involved in the regulation of Warburg effect in tumor cells. Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) mediate arginine methylation and have critical functions in cellular responses. PRMTs are deregulated in a variety of cancers, but their precise roles in Warburg effect in cancer is largely unknown. Experiments from the current study showed that PRMT1 was highly expressed under conditions of glucose sufficiency. PRMT1 induced an increase in the PKM2/PKM1 ratio through upregulation of PTBP1, in turn, promoting aerobic glycolysis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The PRMT1 level in p53-deficient and p53-mutated NSCLC remained relatively unchanged while the expression was reduced in p53 wild-type NSCLC under conditions of glucose insufficiency. Notably, p53 activation under glucose-deficient conditions could suppress USP7 and further accelerate the polyubiquitin-dependent degradation of PRMT1. Melatonin, a hormone that inhibits glucose intake, markedly suppressed cell proliferation of p53 wild-type NSCLC, while a combination of melatonin and the USP7 inhibitor P5091 enhanced the anticancer activity in p53-deficient NSCLC. Our collective findings support a role of PRMT1 in the regulation of Warburg effect in NSCLC. Moreover, combination treatment with melatonin and the USP7 inhibitor showed good efficacy, providing a rationale for the development of PRMT1-based therapy to improve p53-deficient NSCLC outcomes.
