A Custom-Developed Device for Testing Tensile Strength and Elasticity of Vascular and Intestinal Tissue Samples for Anastomosis Regeneration Research.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Optimizing the regeneration process of surgically created anastomoses (blood vessels, intestines, nerves) is an important topic in surgical research. One of the most interesting parameter groups is related to the biomechanical properties of the anastomoses. Depending on the regeneration process and its influencing factors, tensile strength and other biomechanical features may change during the healing process. Related to the optimal specimen size, the range and accuracy of measurements, and applicability, we have developed a custom-tailored microcontroller-based device. In this paper, we describe the hardware and software configuration of the latest version of the device, including experiences and comparative measurements of tensile strength and elasticity of artificial materials and biopreparate tissue samples. The machine we developed was made up of easily obtainable parts and can be easily reproduced on a low budget. The basic device can apply a force of up to 40 newtons, and can grasp a 0.05-1 cm wide, 0.05-1 cm thick tissue. The length of the test piece on the rail should be between 0.3 and 5 cm. Low production cost, ease of use, and detailed data recording make it a useful tool for experimental surgical research.
