Matrix stiffness drives drop like nuclear deformation and lamin A/C tension-dependent YAP nuclear localization.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness influences cancer cell fate by altering gene expression. Previous studies suggest that stiffness-induced nuclear deformation may regulate gene expression through YAP nuclear localization. We investigated the role of the nuclear lamina in this process. We show that the nuclear lamina exhibits mechanical threshold behavior: once unwrinkled, the nuclear lamina is inextensible. A computational model predicts that the unwrinkled lamina is under tension, which is confirmed using a lamin tension sensor. Laminar unwrinkling is caused by nuclear flattening during cell spreading on stiff ECM. Knockdown of lamin A/C eliminates nuclear surface tension and decreases nuclear YAP localization. These findings show that nuclear deformation in cells conforms to the nuclear drop model and reveal a role for lamin A/C tension in controlling YAP localization in cancer cells.
