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

The immune system serves as a crucial line of defense against pathogens and abnormal cells throughout the entire life cycle. While chemical interactions among immune cells play a prominent role in the immune response, the manner in which physical factors, such as mechanical forces, shape the behaviors and functions of immune cells remains inadequately understood. This is particularly noteworthy given that the lifespan of an immune cell is characterized by a series of physical processes. This review first synthesizes current understanding of how immune cells respond to biomechanical cues via mechanotransduction cascades, which encompass mechanosensors that detect mechanical stimuli, mechanotransducers that propagate signals, and mechanoeffectors that execute cellular responses. Furthermore, this is delved into the mechanical crosstalk among immune cells themselves and between the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as with other cell types. the emerging significance of mechanoimmunology is highlighted in both health and disease contexts. Overall, this review will give insight into the role of mechanotransduction in shaping immunity is hoped, providing inspiration for advancements in mechanobiology-based immunotherapeutic strategies in the future.
