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

Intestinal homeostasis relies on the continuous renewal of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), which could be epigenetically regulated. While protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (Prmt5) is known to play a key role in multiple organs as an epigenetic modifier, its specific function in maintaining intestinal homeostasis remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that Prmt5 is highly expressed in mouse crypts. The deletion of Prmt5 results in ISCs deficiency, ectopic localization of Paneth cells, and spontaneous colitis. Mechanistically, Prmt5 sustains a high level of H3K27ac accumulation by inhibiting Hdac9 expression in the intestinal epithelium, and maintains the stemness of ISCs in a cell-autonomous manner. Notably, inhibition of histone deacetylases can rescue both self-renewal and differentiation capacities of Prmt5-depleted ISCs. These findings highlight Prmt5 as a critical regulator in intestinal epithelium development and tissue homeostasis.
