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

Developing a shear wave tensiometer capable of non-invasively measuring ligament tension holds promise for enhancing research and clinical assessments of ligament function. Such development would benefit from tunable test specimens fabricated from well-characterized and consistent materials. Although previous work found that yarn can replicate the mechanical behavior of collateral ligaments, it is not obvious whether yarn-based phantoms would be suitable for development of a shear wave tensiometer for measuring ligament tension. Accordingly, the primary objective of this study was to characterize the mechanical properties and shear wave speed - stress relationships of ligament phantoms fabricated from yarn and silicone, and compare these results to published data from biological ligaments. We measured the mechanical properties and shear wave speeds during axial loading in nine phantoms with systematically varied material properties. We performed a simple linear regression between shear wave speed squared and axial stress to determine the shear wave speed - stress relationship for each phantom. We found comparable elastic moduli, hysteresis, and shear wave speed squared - stress regression parameters between the phantoms and collateral ligaments. For example, the ranges of the coefficients of determination (R
