FAM83B is involved in thyroid cancer cell differentiation and migration.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
FAM83B has been recently identified as an oncogene, but its role in thyroid cancers (TC) is still unclear. We examined the expression of FAM83B and its possible involvement in cell migration and differentiation, in neoplastic/normal thyroid tissues and in TC human cell lines. FAM83B expression in TC varies according to the tumor histotype, being significantly downregulated in more aggressive and metastatic tissues. FAM83B levels in cell lines recapitulate patients' samples variations, and its total and cytoplasmic levels decrease upon the induction of migration, together with an increase in its nuclear localization. Similar variations were detected in the primary tumor and in the metastatic tissues from a follicular TC. FAM83B knock down experiments confirmed its role in thyroid differentiation and cell migration, as demonstrated by the reduction of markers of thyroid differentiation and the increase of the mesenchymal marker vimentin. Moreover, the silencing of FAM83B significantly increased cells migration abilities, while not affecting the oncogenic RAS/MAPK/PI3K pathways. Our data indicate for the first time a role for FAM83B in TC cell differentiation and migration. Its expression is reduced in dedifferentiated tumors and its nuclear re-localization could favour distant migration, suggesting that FAM83B should be considered a possible diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.
