KMT5B in Cancerous and Noncancerous Diseases: Clinical and Mechanical Considerations.
Review in International journal of medical sciences, 2026. 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
KMT5B, also known as SUV4-20H1, is a lysine methyltransferase, catalyzing the generation of H4K20me2 through methylation at the histone H4K20 site, and is increasingly recognized as a pivotal driver of various tumor and non-tumor diseases. Under physiological conditions, KMT5B and its catalytic product, H4K20me2, regulate several essential cellular processes, including DNA replication site selection, G1/S phase transition, DNA double-strand break repair, and stem cell homeostasis in neural and muscle tissues. Furthermore, they support the development of the cytoskeleton, cilia, heart, and lungs. Beyond its catalytic activity, the non-catalytic functions of KMT5B also contribute to genomic stability. Conversely, KMT5B dysregulation is associated with diverse pathologies: deficiency is linked to glioblastoma, sarcoma, and neurodevelopmental disorders, whereas overexpression correlates with hepatocellular carcinoma and chronic myelogenous leukemia. This review summarizes the biological functions and pathological roles of KMT5B identified over the past decades, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for both cancer and non-cancer diseases.
