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

Introduction: Ewing sarcoma is a rare type of cancer arising from bone and soft tissues mainly affecting children and young adults. Treatments include intensive chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy, however more than 30% of patients die from the disease. Direct drug targeting of EWS-FLI1 remains a significant challenge, therefore new approaches are urgently required. Methods: Analysis of Results: We show that the expression and activity of the arginine methyltransferases PRMT1 and PRMT5 are elevated in Ewing sarcoma and that inhibition of PRMT1 or PRMT5 with pre-clinical inhibitors leads to growth arrest and apoptosis that is dependent on the expression of the driver oncogene Discussion: Our study implies that PRMT1/PRMT5 are important mediators of
