Mechanobiology of the Hippo-YAP Signaling Network.
Article in Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cells are not only biochemical machines but also mechanical entities, which experience physical cues ranging from extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness to cytoskeletal tension and intercellular adhesion. The Hippo signaling network is a key interpreter of these cues, responding to multiple, intertwined inputs including filamentous actin (F-actin) abundance and architecture, actomyosin contractility, integrin-focal adhesion signaling, junctional complexes, and nuclear mechanics, to modulate Yorkie (Yki)/Yes-associated protein (YAP)/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) activity and ultimately cell fate, organ growth, and tissue homeostasis. Mechanoregulation can be Hippo-dependent (via regulation of Wts/LATS kinases) or Hippo-independent. Hippo signaling and YAP/TAZ also feed back on mechanics, modulating F-actin levels, focal adhesions, and actomyosin contractility. Links between tissue mechanics and Hippo signaling have important physiological roles in development and homeostasis. Conversely, in disease states including cancer and fibrosis altered mechanics can chronically activate YAP/TAZ, creating feedforward tissue stiffening and maladaptive remodeling. Understanding Hippo mechanobiology can thus inform strategies that restore balance between adaptive and pathological responses to tissue mechanics.
