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

The spatial organization of the genome within the nucleus is a critical determinant of gene regulation, genome stability, and cellular identity. Disruption of nuclear architecture is increasingly recognized as a hallmark of cancer, contributing to transcriptional dysregulation, epigenetic reprogramming, and metastatic progression. Nuclear lamins, as key structural components of the nuclear envelope, play central roles in maintaining nuclear integrity and organizing chromatin through lamina-associated domains that are enriched in transcriptionally repressive states. Emerging pan-cancer studies reveal widespread dysregulation of lamin genes, with context-dependent roles in tumor suppression and oncogenesis. Alterations in lamin expression not only impact chromatin organization and gene expression but also influence nuclear mechanics, thereby facilitating invasion and metastasis. Increasing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms tightly regulate lamin expression and function, linking chromatin state to nuclear structure. This interplay between epigenetic regulation and nuclear architecture drives large-scale genome reorganization and transcriptional plasticity in cancer. This review discusses the role of nuclear architecture in tumorigenesis, the contribution of lamins to chromatin organization, and the emerging epigenetic control of lamins in cancer progression and metastasis.
