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

Conventional treatments, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and radiotherapy, are effective clinical strategies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, which can significantly improve life quality and prolong survival time. However, the application of drugs in NSCLC patients inevitably leads to therapeutic resistance. In recent years, many studies have shown that histone methyltransferases (HMTs), including both protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) and lysine methyltransferases (KMTs), play pivotal roles in tumor initiation, progression, and treatment resistance. This review synthesizes current insights into histone methylation dynamics driving therapeutic resistance, with a focus on key HMTs and their mechanisms. Additionally, we discuss the molecular mechanisms underlying histone methylation-mediated therapeutic resistance and potential therapeutic strategies targeting histone methylation for overcoming therapeutic resistance in NSCLC.
