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

Cell migration involves the actin cytoskeleton, and recently recognized nuclear involvement. In this study, we explore the impact of chromatin remodeling on cell migration using NIH 3T3 cells and a scratch wound assay subjected to pharmacological interventions. We inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs) with Trichostatin A (TSA) and methyltransferase EZH2 with GSK126 to modulate chromatin compaction. Our results indicate that chromatin modifications impair wound closure efficiency, reduce individual cell migration speed, and disrupt migration persistence. Live-cell imaging reveals dynamic intranuclear chromatin remodeling and nuclear shape parameters during migration, influenced by both small- and large-scale chromatin remodeling. The altered nuclear shape is associated with disrupted cell and nuclear mechanics, suggesting a crucial interplay between chromatin remodeling, nuclear mechanics and migration. These findings shed light on the intricate connection between intranuclear chromatin dynamics, nuclear mechanics, and cell migration, providing a basis for further investigations into the molecular mechanisms governing these processes.
