The interrelated roles of RAB family proteins in the advancement of neoplastic growth.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Rab Proteins, A Subfamily Of The Ras Superfamily Of Small Gtpases, Are Critical Regulators Of Intracellular Vesicular Trafficking, Which Is Intricately Linked To Various Cellular Processes. These Proteins Play Essential Roles Not Only In Maintaining Cellular Homeostasis But Also In Mediating The Complex Interplay Between Cancer Cells and Their Microenvironment. Rab Proteins Can Act As Either Oncogenic Factors Or Tumor Suppressors, With Their Functions Highly Dependent On The Cellular Context. Mechanistic Studies Have Revealed That Rab Proteins Are Involved In A Variety Of Processes, Including Vesicular Transport, Tumor Microenvironment Regulation, Autophagy, Drug Resistance, and Metabolic Regulation, and Play Either A Promotional Or Inhibitory Role In Cancer Development. Consequently, Targeting Rab Gtpases To Restore Dysregulated Vesicular Transport Systems May Offer A Promising Therapeutic Strategy To Inhibit Cancer Progression. However, It Is Equally Important To Consider The Potential Risks Of Disrupting Rab Functions, As Their Roles Are Highly Context-Dependent and May Have Opposing Effects In Different Malignancies. This Review Focuses On The Multifaceted Involvement Of Rab Family Proteins In Cancer Progression Underscores Their Importance As Potential Therapeutic Targets and Underscores The Need For A Deeper Understanding Of Their Complex Roles In Tumorigenesis.
