Biaxial testing system for characterization of mechanical and rupture properties of small samples.
Article in HardwareX, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The study of damage and rupture of soft tissues using a tensile testing system is essential to understand the limits of mechanical behavior and loss of function in diseased tissues. However, commercial material testing systems are often expensive and may not be fully suitable for rupture tests of small samples. While several research laboratories have developed custom, less expensive, uniaxial or biaxial devices, there is a need for an open source, inexpensive, accurate and easy to customize biaxial material testing system to perform rupture tests in small soft samples. We designed a testing system (BiMaTS) that (a) was shown able to perform uniaxial and biaxial tests, (b) offers a large travel range for rupture tests of small samples, (c) maintains a centered field of view for effective strain mapping using digital image correlation, (d) provides a controlled temperature environment, (e) utilize many off-the-shelve components for easy manufacture and customization, and it is cost effective (∼$15 K). The instrument performance was characterized using 80%-scaled down, ASTM D412-C shaped PDMS samples. Our results demonstrate the ability of this open source, customizable, low-cost, biaxial materials testing system to successfully characterize the mechanical and rupture properties of small samples with high repeatability and accuracy.
