A Further Case for Targeting PRMT5 and the ERK1/2 and PI3K Pathways in CRC.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States. Recent breakthroughs in research are highlighting the complex genetic and epigenetic alterations driving CRC progression. Among these, the ERK1/2 and PI3K pathways are central regulators of cellular proliferation, survival, and differentiation. The overactivation of these pathways is frequently observed in cancer and is associated with poor patient prognosis. Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), a key epigenetic regulator, has been implicated in modulating the ERK1/2 and PI3K pathways in cancer. Previous studies, including those from our own group, are starting to suggest that targeting PRMT5 and the ERK1/2 and PI3K pathways may offer therapeutic benefits. Thus, we sought to provide further evidence of the relationship between PRMT5 and the ERK1/2 and PI3K pathways in CRC. Using patient tumor gene expression data and protein-protein interaction networks, we provide further evidence that PRMT5 is positively correlated with, and interacts with, the ERK1/2 and PI3K pathways in CRC. These findings are significant, as they further strengthen the case for the urgent need of additional research into therapeutic strategies targeting PRMT5 and the ERK1/2 and PI3K pathways in CRC.
