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 aortic wall is always loaded in vivo, which makes it challenging to estimate the material parameters of its nonlinear, anisotropic constitutive equation from in vivo image data. Previous approaches largely relied on either computationally expensive finite element models or simplifications of the geometry or material models. In this study, we investigated a new inverse method based on aortic wall stress computation. This approach consists of the following two steps: (1) computing an "almost true" stress field from the in vivo geometries and loading conditions, (2) building an objective function based on the "almost true" stress fields, constitutive equations and deformation relations, and estimating the material parameters by minimizing the objective function. The method was validated through numerical experiments by using the in vivo data from four ascending aortic aneurysm (AsAA) patients. The results demonstrated that the method is computationally efficient. This novel approach may facilitate the personalized biomechanical analysis of aortic tissues in clinical applications, such as in the rupture risk analysis of ascending aortic aneurysms.
