Spinal dura mater: biophysical characteristics relevant to medical device development.
Review in Journal of medical engineering & technology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Understanding the relevant biophysical properties of the spinal dura mater is essential to the design of medical devices that will directly interact with this membrane or influence the contents of the intradural space. We searched the literature and reviewed the pertinent characteristics for the design, construction, testing, and imaging of novel devices intended to perforate, integrate, adhere or reside within or outside of the spinal dura mater. The spinal dura mater is a thin tubular membrane composed of collagen and elastin fibres that varies in circumference along its length. Its mechanical properties have been well-described, with the longitudinal tensile strength exceeding the transverse strength. Data on the bioelectric, biomagnetic, optical and thermal characteristics of the spinal dura are limited and sometimes taken to be similar to those of water. While various modalities are available to visualise the spinal dura, magnetic resonance remains the best modality to segment its structure. The reaction of the spinal dura to imposition of a foreign body or other manipulations of it may compromise its biomechanical and immune-protective benefits. Therefore, dural sealants and replacements are of particular clinical, research and commercial interest. In conclusion, existing devices that are in clinical use for spinal cord stimulation, intrathecal access or intradural implantation largely adhere to traditional designs and their attendant limitations. However, if future devices are built with an understanding of the dura's properties incorporated more fully into the designs, there is potential for improved performance.
