Tissue stiffness heterogeneity in the jaw and temporomandibular joint: its impact on tumor metabolism and considerations for
Review in Frontiers in physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Malignant bone- and cartilage-forming tumors exhibit heterogeneous clinical behavior across various body regions. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these differences is essential for developing targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This review proposes the hypothesis that tissue stiffness heterogeneity contributes to the distinct progression and prognosis of tumors in the jaw and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) compared to peripheral skeletal sites, potentially through stiffness-mediated metabolic reprogramming. To evaluate this hypothesis, a conceptual framework is provided to guide future research. This review summarizes spatial and temporal variations in stiffness across the jaw, TMJ, and femur, and introduces potential mechanisms through which mechanical stiffness may influence tumor metabolism. Technical strategies and material considerations for designing scaffolds that mimic bone and cartilage stiffness are discussed, along with current applications of stiffness-biomimetic scaffolds for
