A Novel Soft and Inflatable Strain-based Tactile Sensing Balloon for Enhanced Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer Polyps Via Colonoscopy.
Article in IEEE sensors journal, 2024. 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
In this paper, with the goal of addressing the lack of tactile feedback in colorectal cancer (CRC) polyps diagnosis using a colonoscopy procedure, we propose the design and fabrication of a novel soft and inflatable strain-based tactile sensing balloon (SI-STSB). The proposed soft sensor features a unique stretchable sensing layer - that utilizes a liquid metal injected within spiral-shape microchannels of a stretchable substrate - and is integrated with a unique inflatable balloon mechanism. The proposed SI-STSB has been thoroughly characterized through different calibration experiments. Results demonstrate a phenomenal adjustable sensitivity with low hysteresis behavior under different experimental conditions for this sensor making it a great candidate for enhancing the existing diagnosis procedures.
