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

Nuclear envelope fragility has been identified as a hallmark of the metastatic process. Indeed, cancer cells undertake a challenging journey through diverse environments during metastasis, notably squeezing through narrow spaces and dense collagen matrices. In their report, Baird et al. identify a key player in nuclear fragility in confined cancer cell migration: the Lamin B receptor. Its overexpression and clustering in specific regions of the nuclear envelope increase nuclear distortion and fragility, rendering nuclei more susceptible to rupture with consequent chromatin extrusion and genomic instability. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying this process, particularly the receptor's sterol reductase activity, represents a promising step towards the identification of novel therapeutic targets.
