Vimentin Intermediate Filaments: A Paradigm Shift From Static Structure to Dynamic Cytoplasmic Network.
Review in BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology, 2026. 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
Recent advances in live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, labeling techniques and cryo-electron microscopy reveal vimentin intermediate filaments (VIFs) as adaptable polymers that couple mechanical stability with rapid remodeling. In this review, we highlight recent findings and discuss how VIFs function as dynamic, interpenetrating networks with actin microfilaments and microtubules, coordinating cytoskeletal architecture while simultaneously facilitating organelle positioning and influencing cellular behavior. We also propose a hybrid transport model to capture the diverse modes of VIF cellular interactions. This emerging framework positions VIFs as dynamic integrators of cytoskeletal organization and intracellular logistics, with broad implications for understanding cell mechanics, migration, and disease.
