Transmit and protect: The mechanical functions of intermediate filaments.
Review in Current opinion in cell biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
New aspects of the unique mechanical properties of intermediate filaments (IFs) continue to emerge from studies that illuminate the structure and mechanical response of single filaments, the interaction of intermediate filaments with each other or with other cytoskeletal elements, and the viscoelasticity of the networks that these intermediate filaments form. The relation of purified IF network mechanics to the role of IFs in cells and tissues is a particularly active area, with several new demonstrations of the unique and essential role that intermediate filament networks play in determining the mechanical response of biological materials, especially to large deformations, and the mechanisms by which intermediate filaments protect the nucleus from mechanical stresses that cells and tissues encounter in vivo.
