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

While much is known about the effects of the chemical microenvironment on cellular metabolism, mechanical cues have emerged as critical stimuli of intracellular metabolic pathways. Mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix (ECM), neighboring cells, and the microenvironment intersect with key regulators of cellular metabolism, often leading to changes in fundamental cell behaviors, including cell proliferation and migration. Here, we review recent work that has uncovered a role for mechanical cues from microenvironmental factors on cellular metabolism. We discuss how cell-ECM interactions and forces such as shear, tension, and compression affect cellular metabolic requirements and energy production. Importantly, mechanometabolism shapes both physiological homeostasis and pathological states, and further investigation has implications for understanding tissue function and disease progression and uncovering potential therapeutic strategies.
