An open-source biaxial tensile tester with automated pre-tensioning for mechanical studies of canvas paintings.
Article in HardwareX, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 mechanical aspects of canvas painting conservation and the study of the effects of conservation treatments benefit greatly from quantifying the mechanical characteristics of the materials. However, this is seldom possible as only few labs have the necessary equipment. This paper presents the development of a biaxial tester to be used for samples of canvas paintings which exhibit orthotropic behavior under biaxial loads. The machine was built as the first step of ongoing Ph.D. research on the mechanics of canvas paintings. An effort was made to create a system that is easy to assemble, with parts that are easy to source and with an overall cost well below the commercial units available. The control software includes the function of automated pre-tensioning to improve the accuracy of the measurement. Our broader purpose here is to make an easy-to-replicate machine available to help conservators and conservation scientists perform tensile tests to make informed choices in materials science.
