Effect of HPSE and HPSE2 SNPs on the Risk of Developing Primary Paraskeletal Multiple Myeloma.
Article in Cells, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy that is accompanied by hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and lytic bone lesions. Heparanase (HPSE) plays an important role in supporting and promoting myeloma progression, maintenance of plasma cell stemness, and resistance to therapy. Previous studies identified functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the HPSE gene. In the present study, 5 functional HPSE SNPs and 11 novel HPSE2 SNPs were examined. A very significant association between two enhancer (rs4693608 and rs4693084), and two insulator (rs4364254 and rs4426765) HPSE SNPs and primary paraskeletal disease (PS) was observed. SNP rs657442, located in intron 9 of the HPSE2 gene, revealed a significant protective association with primary paraskeletal disease and lytic bone lesions. The present study demonstrates a promoting (HPSE gene) and protective (HPSE2 gene) role of gene regulatory elements in the development of paraskeletal disease and bone morbidity. The effect of signal discrepancy between myeloma cells and normal cells of the tumor microenvironment is proposed as a mechanism for the involvement of heparanase in primary PS. We suggest that an increase in heparanase-2 expression can lead to effective suppression of heparanase activity in multiple myeloma accompanied by extramedullary and osteolytic bone disease.
