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

Closed-form constitutive models are the standard to describe soft tissue mechanical behavior. However, inherent pitfalls of an explicit functional form include poor fits to the data, non-uniqueness of fit, and sensitivity to parameters. Here we design deep neural networks (DNN) that satisfy desirable physics constraints in order to replace expert models of tissue mechanics. To guarantee stress-objectivity, the DNN takes strain (pseudo)-invariants as inputs, and outputs the strain energy and its derivatives. Polyconvexity of strain energy is enforced through the loss function. Direct prediction of both energy and derivative functions enables the computation of the elasticity tensor needed for a finite element implementation. We showcase the DNN ability to learn the anisotropic mechanical behavior of porcine and murine skin from biaxial test data. A multi-fidelity scheme that combines high fidelity experimental data with a low fidelity analytical approximation yields the best performance. Finite element simulations of tissue expansion with the DNN model illustrate the potential of this method to impact medical device design for skin therapeutics. We expect that the open data and software from this work will broaden the use of data-driven constitutive models of tissue mechanics.
