Deformation Microscopy: A Protocol for Full-Field, Micro- to Nano-Scale Imaging of Mechanics in Extracellular Matrix, Cells, and Nuclei.

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
The internal mechanics of living tissues, cells, and nuclei exhibit exquisite complexity, depend on dynamic structural changes, and influence biological functions such as tissue remodeling, cell homeostasis and migration, and gene expression. Full-field methods to reveal the internal mechanics of extracellular matrix, cells, and nuclei are emerging and can uncover new discoveries in mechanobiology. Here we detail a noninvasive technology to probe the internal mechanics of extracellular matrix, cells, and nuclei using a combination of imaging and deformation-matching computational approaches. Important to this technology is the acquisition of image data showing sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to capture a motion event, which can be readily evaluated using automated assessment of structural features. With careful consideration of image acquisition and processing parameters, micron- to nanometer-scale intracellular and intranuclear mechanics can be reliably measured with small displacement errors (<0.04 µm) using a conventional confocal or wide-field microscope. Further, the technology can be used to spatially correlate a multitude of biological events in complex biological problems. © 2026 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
