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

Cells respond to mechanical stimuli by transmitting forces to the nucleus, activating mechanosensitive molecules that alter chromatin organization and gene expression. While force-induced changes in cell fate are recognized, the spatiotemporal dynamics of nuclear mechanosensing remain unclear. Here, nuclear responses are investigated to temporal cyclic stretching in human dermal fibroblasts, uncovering a cascade of mechanosensitive events linking cytoskeletal remodeling, chromatin accessibility, and gene expression. Brief cyclic stretch induces rapid chromatin decondensation and nuclear softening, marked by reduced H3K9me3 levels. The stretch reinforces perinuclear actin assembly from globular actins, activated by Ca
