Original article submission: Platelet stress accumulation analysis to predict thrombogenicity of an artificial kidney.
Article in Journal of biomechanics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
An implantable artificial kidney using a hemofilter constructed from an array of silicon membranes to provide ultrafiltration requires a suitable blood flow path to ensure stable operation in vivo. Two types of flow paths distributing blood to the array of membranes were evaluated: parallel and serpentine. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were used to guide the development of the blood flow paths. Pressure data from animal tests were used to obtain pulsatile flow conditions imposed in the transient simulations. A key consideration for stable operation in vivo is limiting platelet stress accumulation to avoid platelet activation and thrombus formation. Platelet stress exposure was evaluated by CFD particle tracking methods through the devices to provide distributions of platelet stress accumulation. The distributions of stress accumulation over the duration of a platelet lifetime for each device revealed that stress accumulation for the serpentine flow path exceeded levels expected to cause platelet activation while the accumulated stress for the parallel flow path was below expected activation levels.
