An improved peel test method for measurement of adhesion to biomaterials.

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
Adhesion of tissues to biomaterials is desirable to prevent bacterial proliferation and for epithelial/transmucosal sealing of transcutaneous appliances, but can be counter-productive elsewhere, e.g. implants contacting tendons or maxillofacial subcutaneous tissue. It is therefore important to gauge adhesion strength of tissues to biomaterials before clinical use. Peel-testing is widely used for industrial product adhesion monitoring, but has rarely been applied biomedically. Here we describe peel-testing instrumentation designed for testing adherence of soft tissues to biomaterials. It offers the advantage that a 90 degrees angle between peel and substrate is maintained, simplifying determination of applied normal forces separating tissue layers from material surfaces. The device is portable and can be brought directly to the specimen removal site. This minimizes time delays between explantation and testing, maintaining the tissue/biomaterial interface in the freshest possible state closely approximating in vivo conditions, and so avoids measurement artifacts. So far, the instrument has been used to test adhesion of tape to a biomaterial surface (for determining the device's technical performance), assess strength of tissue adhesives, and measure adhesion of subcutaneous tissue to orthopaedic biomaterials. However, its versatility suggests additional applications for the peel-tester where adhesion of soft tissue to biomaterials is of interest.
