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

In computational modelling of musculoskeletal applications, one of the critical aspects is ensuring that a model can capture intrinsic population variability and not only representative of a "mean" individual. Developing and calibrating models with this aspect in mind is key for the credibility of a modelling methodology. This often requires calibration of complex models with respect to 3D experiments and measurements on a range of specimens or patients. Most Finite Element (FE) software's do not have such a capacity embedded in their core tools. This paper presents a versatile interface between Finite Element (FE) software and optimisation tools, enabling calibration of a group of FE models on a range of experimental data. It is provided as a Python toolbox which has been fully tested and verified on Windows platforms. The toolbox is tested in three case studies involving in vitro testing of spinal tissues.
