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

TBC1D22B is a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer (BC). Using complementary proximity-labeling and co-immunoprecipitation proteomics, the TBC1D22B interactome in BC cells is defined, revealing strong enrichment in components of the ER-to-Golgi trafficking machinery, endosomal transport, and adhesion-related pathways. Functional assays, using the Retention Using Selective Hooks (RUSH) system, demonstrate that TBC1D22B inhibits ER-to-Golgi transport in a GAP-dependent manner. Mechanistic studies identify RAB1B as a direct target of TBC1D22B, and RAB1B silencing phenocopies the trafficking defects caused by TBC1D22B overexpression. In 3D culture, TBC1D22B promotes spheroid growth in a manner dependent on its GAP activity and not replicated by its paralog TBC1D22A. Transcriptomic profiling reveals that TBC1D22B overexpression triggers repression of a core module of extracellular matrix and adhesion-related genes, consistent with altered secretory activity. Importantly, this transcriptional program is also evident in primary Luminal BC with high TBC1D22B expression, highlighting a conserved and functionally relevant signature. Together, these findings establish TBC1D22B as a regulator of ER-to-Golgi trafficking via RAB1B and implicate it in oncogenic transcriptional remodeling and tumor growth.
