Nuclear blebs are associated with destabilized chromatin-packing domains.

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
Disrupted nuclear shape is associated with multiple pathological processes including premature aging disorders, cancer-relevant chromosomal rearrangements and DNA damage. Nuclear blebs (i.e. herniations of the nuclear envelope) can be induced by (1) nuclear compression, (2) nuclear migration (e.g. cancer metastasis), (3) actin contraction, (4) lamin mutation or depletion, and (5) heterochromatin enzyme inhibition. Recent work has shown that chromatin transformation is a hallmark of bleb formation, but the transformation of higher-order structures in blebs is not well understood. As higher-order chromatin has been shown to assemble into nanoscopic packing domains, we investigated whether (1) packing domain organization is altered within nuclear blebs and (2) whether alteration in packing domain structure contributed to bleb formation. Using dual-partial wave spectroscopic microscopy, we show that chromatin-packing domains within blebs are transformed both by B-type lamin depletion and the inhibition of heterochromatin enzymes compared to what is seen in the nuclear body. Pairing these results with single-molecule localization microscopy of constitutive heterochromatin, we show fragmentation of nanoscopic heterochromatin domains within bleb domains. Overall, these findings indicate that chromatin within blebs is associated with a fragmented higher-order chromatin structure.
