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

Surface skin deformation of the finger pad during partial slippage at finger-object interfaces elicits firing of the tactile sensory afferents. A torque around the contact normal is often present during object manipulation, which can cause partial rotational slippage. Until now, studies of surface skin deformation have used stimuli sliding rectilinearly and tangentially to the skin. Here, we study surface skin dynamics under pure torsion of the right index finger of seven adult participants (four males). A custom robotic platform stimulated the finger pad with a flat clean glass surface, controlling the normal forces and rotation speeds applied while monitoring the contact interface using optical imaging. We tested normal forces between 0.5 N and 10 N at a fixed angular velocity of 20° s
