Mechanophysiological analysis of anorectal function using simulated feces in human subjects.
Article in Journal of advanced research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
introductionDefecation is a complex process that is difficult to study and analyze.
objectivesHere, we present new analytical tools to calculate frictional force and tension during expulsion of the Fecobionics simulated stool in human subjects.
methodsThe 12-cm-long Fecobionics device contained pressure sensors, motion processor units for measurement of orientation and bending, and impedance rings for measurement of cross-sectional areas. Eight normal subjects defecated Fecobionics. The bending angle of the device, frictional force between the device and the surrounding tissue, and the stretch tensions were calculated.
resultsThe bending angle and pressures changed during expulsion with the maximum pressure recorded at the rear. The averaged circumferential tension, longitudinal tension and friction force in each subject were associated with the front-rear pressure difference (r > 0.7, p < 0.005). The peak circumferential tension, longitudinal tension, and friction force immediately before expulsion of the rear were significantly higher compared to when the front entered the anal canal (F = 164.7, p < 0.005; F = 152.1, p < 0.005; F = 71.4, p < 0.005; respectively.).
conclusionThis study shows that Fecobionics obtained reliable data under physiological conditions. Mechanical features such as frictional force and stretch tensions were assessable during Fecobionics expulsion.
