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

Skin is the body's largest organ, and it shows non-linear and anisotropic behavior under the deformation. This behavior of the skin is due to the waviness and preferred orientation (in a particular direction) of collagen fibers. This preferred orientation of collagen fibers results in natural pre-tension and anisotropy of the skin. The knowledge of natural skin pre-tension and anisotropy is essential during incisions and surgery. The available suction-based devices quantify the anisotropy through the displacement field and cannot measure the stress-strain relation in particular directions. Therefore, in the current study, an
