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

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a promising cancer target, yet it's unclear which PRMT5 roles underlie this vulnerability. Here, we establish that PRMT5 inhibition induces a special class of unspliced introns, called detained introns (DIs). To interrogate the impact of DIs, we depleted CLNS1A, a PRMT5 cofactor that specifically enables Sm protein methylation. We found that many, but not all, cell lines are CLNS1A-dependent and established that loss of viability is linked to loss of Sm protein methylation and DI upregulation. Finally, we discovered that PRMT5-regulated DIs, and the impacted genes, are highly conserved across human, and also mouse, cell lines but display little interspecies conservation. Despite this, human and mouse DIs have convergent impacts on proliferation by affecting essential components of proliferation-regulating complexes. Together, these data argue that the PRMT5-splicing axis, including appropriate DI splicing, underlies cancer's vulnerability to PRMT5 inhibitors.
