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

purposeTo evaluate the viscoelastic properties of the fresh porcine ureter. Prove the QLV theory can sufficiently model the stress relaxation function of porcine ureters, and determine the QLV model constants which may provide insight into the synthesis of ureteral scaffolds with biomimetic viscoelastic properties in tissue engineering.

methodsHysteresis tests were applied to study the differences in dissipated energy ratio for each different strain group. In stress relaxation tests, samples were sub-grouped and quickly ramping up to 5%, 20%, and 30% strain in each group and gradually relaxed to a corresponding level. Bringing together the quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) theory and stress relaxation function to determine the eight constants of the ureteral tissue, and fitting the raw data with the model via MATLAB.

resultsThe hysteresis response measurement results revealed that the porcine ureter was a highly dissipative material and there were differences between toe and linear region in stress-stain curve. The stress relaxation results revealed ureters responded with time-dependent decay of stress. The eight constants of the ureteral QLV model were determined for three different strain groups, and we proved that the QLV model can sufficiently adapt the experimental data of the ureter stress relaxation.

conclusionThis study investigated the time-dependent properties of the porcine ureter, and demonstrated the QLV theory could be used to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of the porcine ureteral tissue.
