3D multiscale shape analysis of nuclei and in vivo elastic stress sensors allows force inference.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The measurement of stresses and forces at the tissue level has proven to be an indispensable tool for the understanding of complex biological phenomena such as cancer invasion, embryo development, or wound healing. One of the most versatile tools for force inference at the cell and tissue level are elastic force sensors, whose biocompatibility and tunable material properties make them suitable for many different experimental scenarios. The evaluation of those forces, however, is still a bottleneck due to the numerical methods seen in the literature until now, which are usually slow and render low experimental yield. Here, we present BeadBuddy, a ready-to-use platform for the evaluation of deformation and stresses from fluorescently labeled sensors within seconds. The strengths of BeadBuddy lie in the precomputed analytical solutions of the elastic problem, the abstraction of data into spherical harmonics, and a simple user interface that creates a smooth workflow for force inference.
