Review in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Individual cells and cells within the tissues and organs constantly face mechanical challenges, such as tension, compression, strain, shear stress, and the rigidity of cellular and extracellular surroundings. Besides the external mechanical forces, cells and their components are also subjected to intracellular mechanical forces, such as pulling, pushing, and stretching, created by the sophisticated force-generation machinery of the cytoskeleton and molecular motors. All these mechanical stressors switch on the mechanotransduction pathways, allowing cells and their components to respond and adapt. Mechanical force-induced changes at the cell membrane and cytoskeleton are also transmitted to the nucleus and its nucleoskeleton, affecting nucleocytoplasmic transport, chromatin conformation, transcriptional activity, replication, and genome, which, in turn, orchestrate cellular mechanical behavior. The memory of mechanoresponses is stored as epigenetic and chromatin structure modifications. The mechanical state of the cell in response to the acellular and cellular environment also determines cell identity, fate, and immune response to invading pathogens. Here, we give a short overview of the latest developments in understanding these processes, emphasizing their effects on cell nuclei, chromosomes, and chromatin.
