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

It has recently been shown that shear wave speed in tendons is directly dependent on axial stress. Hence, wave speed could be used to infer tendon load provided that the wave speed-stress relationship can be calibrated and remains robust across loading conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of loading rate and fluid immersion on the wave speed-stress relationship in ex vivo tendons, and to assess potential calibration techniques. Tendon wave speed and axial stress were measured in 20 porcine digital flexor tendons during cyclic (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 Hz) or static axial loading. Squared wave speed was highly correlated to stress (r
