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

Glutamine metabolism promotes breast cancer progression and metastasis, though the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we identified a significant positive correlation between glutamine metabolism and ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22)expression in breast cancer patients. USP22 drives glutamine reprogramming to promote lactate secretion, thereby supporting triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) growth and survival. This process involves the lactyltransferase Tat-interactive protein, 60 kDa (Tip60), which catalyzes K134 lactylation of USP22. This post-translational modification (PTM) stabilizes USP22 protein levels and facilitates its mitochondrial location. Moreover, USP22 stabilizes the solute carrier family 25 member 5 (SLC25A5) through its de-ubiquitinase activity. Clinically, increased expression levels of both USP22 and SLC25A5 are significantly associated with a poor prognosis in patients with TNBC. Furthermore, USP22 regulates glutamine metabolism to promote α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) secretion, thereby activating M2 macrophages and suppressing the anti-tumor immune response. Importantly, targeting USP22 synergized with CB-839 in TNBC xenograft models. These findings underscore USP22 as a promising therapeutic target for TNBC.
