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) catalyzes symmetric arginine dimethylation (Rme2s) of RNA-binding proteins and influences RNA splicing and gene expression. However, how PRMT5 couples splicing to productive transcript output remains unclear. We show that a major function of PRMT5 is to promote chromatin escape of mRNAs, designated as genomically retained incompletely processed polyadenylated transcripts (GRIPPs). Using nascent and spike-in normalized fractionated transcriptomics with proteomics, we find that PRMT5 inhibition in mammalian cells causes polyadenylated mRNA and Smith antigen (Sm) protein accumulation on chromatin. These retained transcripts are intron rich and splice slowly. PRMT5 inhibition and isogenic SNRPB mutants demonstrate that Sm tail methylation is essential to prevent RNA detention on chromatin. Biochemical assays reveal that the SMN Tudor domain competes with nucleic acid binding of methylated Sm tails. We conclude that PRMT5 ensures mRNA processing and nuclear export by preventing aberrant chromatin retention, highlighting arginine methylation as a key regulator of RNA-chromatin dynamics.
