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

Overexpression of the H3K36 histone methyltransferase NSD2 in t(4;14) multiple myeloma (MM) is an early, oncogenic event, and understanding its impact on genomic organisation and expression is relevant to understanding MM biology. We performed epigenetic, transcriptional and phenotypic profiling of the t(4;14) KMS11 myeloma cell line and its isogenic translocation knock out (TKO) to characterise the sequelae of NSD2 overexpression. We found a marked global impact of NSD2 on gene expression and DNA organisation implicating cell identity genes; notably the early lymphocyte regulator, LAIR1 and MM cell surface markers, including CD38, a classical marker of plasma cells which was reduced in TKO cells. Plasma cell transcription factors such as PRDM1, IRF4 and XBP1 were unaffected, suggesting a downstream direct gene effect of NSD2 on cell identity. Changes in cell surface markers suggest an altered surface immunophenotype. Our findings suggest a role for NSD2 in maintaining MM cell identity, with potential implications for future therapeutic strategies based on targeting of NSD2.
