The Pathophysiological Functions of Heparanases: From Evolution, Structural and Tissue-Specific Perspectives.
Review in FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2025. 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
Heparanase 1 (HPSE1) is a unique endoglycosidase responsible for the enzymatic cleavage of heparan sulfate, thereby playing important functions in cancer processes. In contrast, the structurally related Heparanase 2 (HPSE2) lacks catalytic activity and appears to counteract HPSE1 activities. However, contradictory observations in various pathologies highlight the need for a better understanding of the respective contributions of both heparanases. In this review, we provide a comprehensive resource about the biology of HPSE1 and HPSE2 based on findings from different mouse models, with an emphasis on immune cells and their involvement in skin pathophysiology. In addition, we explore the evolutionary relationships between the two heparanases and describe the structure-function of HPSE2 using the advanced protein-prediction tool AlphaFold 3 (AF3). These approaches unveil new insights for deciphering the functional molecular determinants that distinguish HPSE1 from HPSE2.
