Model Circulating Tumor Cells Induced by Mechanical Stress.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 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
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) display a range of specific mechanical properties that set them apart from tumor-residing cells. CTCs face a series of mechanobiology-related challenges: they need to break from the tumor, intravasate, withstand fluid shear stress (FSS) in circulation and then attach to the vessel wall for extravasation. Established carcinoma cell lines are adherent and grow on the surface of cell culture dishes. Such cells may represent tumor residents or advanced colonization of the metastatic niche; however, they are not adequate models of CTCs. Here, we describe the generation of "model CTCs" by subjecting carcinoma cell lines to circulation-imitating FSS in a microfluidic system. Such cells can be characterized by analytical methods of choice, including atomic force microscopy (AFM) based nanomechanical phenotyping. Indeed, model CTCs display nanomechanical properties resembling patient-isolated CTCs and are well suited for studies on mechanotransduction.
