In Situ Mechanical Characterization of Multilayer Soft Tissue Using Ultrasound Imaging.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In this paper, we report the development of a technique to characterize layer-specific nonlinear material properties of soft tissue in situ with the potential for in vivo testing. A soft tissue elastography robotic arm system comprising of a robotically manipulated 30 MHz high-resolution ultrasound probe, a custom designed compression head, and load cells has been developed to perform compression ultrasound imaging on the target tissue and measure reaction forces. A multilayer finite element model is iteratively optimized to identify the material coefficients of each layer. Validation has been performed using tissue mimicking agar-based phantoms with a low relative error of ∼7% for two-layer phantoms and ∼10% error for three layer phantoms when compared to known ground-truth values obtained using a commercial material testing system. The technique has then been used to successfully determine the in situ layer-specific mechanical properties of intact porcine stomach. The mean C
