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 intracellular cytoskeletal network is a central mediator of mechanobiology, transmitting extracellular cues from the cell membrane to elicit downstream changes in cell behaviour and morphology. In cardiomyocytes, mechanotransduction via the intracellular cytoskeleton plays a pivotal role in regulating cardiac output, development and pathological remodelling. Various structural components contribute to this process, including tension-mediated ion channels, contractile sarcomere units, transmembrane cell junction proteins, intermediate filaments and the microtubule network. Among these components, microtubules are the largest and most rigid cytoskeletal elements. This Review highlights the essential, but often understated, role of microtubules in cardiomyocyte mechanobiology, particularly in their coordination with other cytoskeletal elements. Furthermore, this Review highlights how the microtubule cytoskeletal network is connected to cardiac disease phenotypes.
