Integrin and Its Associated Proteins as a Mediator for Mechano-Signal Transduction.
Review in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 59 papers.
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
Mechano-signal transduction is a process in which cells perceive extracellular mechanical signals, convert them into intracellular biochemical signals, and produce a response. Integrins are cell surface receptors that sense the extracellular mechanical cues and bind to the extracellular matrix (ECM). This binding induces integrin clustering and activation. Cytoplasmic tails of activated integrins interact and induce cytoskeleton tensions via several adaptor proteins. Integrins monitor extracellular stiffness via cytoskeleton tensions and modulate ECM stiffness via downstream signaling pathways regulating the expression of genes of ECM components. Integrin-mediated mechano-transduction is very crucial for the cell as it regulates the cell physiology both in normal and diseased conditions according to extracellular mechanical cues. It regulates cell proliferation, survival, and migration. Abnormal mechanical cues such as extreme and prolonged mechanical stress result in pathological conditions including fibrosis, cancers, skin, and autoimmune disorders. This paper aims to explore the role of integrins and their associated proteins in mechano-signal transduction. It highlights the integrins and their associated proteins as targets for therapy development. Furthermore, it also presents the challenges to the targeted drug development, which can be drug resistance and cytotoxicity. It is concluded in this paper that research on integrin-mediated mechano-signal transduction and its relationship with cell physiology and pathologies will be an important step towards the development of effective therapies.
