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

Objective: Cervical cancer (CC) is a leading factor in cancer-associated mortality among women worldwide. Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is involved in tumor growth, metastasis, and immune regulation in various types of cancer. However, the specific role of PRMT1 in CC remains unclear. This study aims to assess the expression pattern of PRMT1 in CC and its effects on tumor growth, angiogenesis, immune response, and metastasis. Material and Methods: We used quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot to detect the expression of PRMT1 in mouse tumor tissues and normal cervical tissues and the differential expression of PRMT1 in human cervical epithelial cells (HCerEpiC) and CC cell lines (HeLa). An ectopic CC mouse model was established and treated with anti-PRMT1 antibody or PRMT1 recombinant protein to evaluate PRMT1 expression in tumor tissues, tumor volume, weight, and histological changes. Transwell and tube formation assays were performed to assess the effects of PRMT1 on CC cell migration, invasion, and endothelial cell tube formation. The regulation of the cGAS-STING (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes) signaling pathway in HeLa cells by PRMT1 was also investigated using PicoGreen staining and Western blot analysis. Results: The expression of PRMT1 was noticeably higher in tumor tissues than in normal tissues ( Conclusion: PRMT1 promotes CC progression by enhancing tumor growth, angiogenesis, and immune evasion, partly by regulating the cGAS-STING pathway. Hence, it may serve as a potential therapeutic target.
