Mechanical stiffness across skin layers in human: a pilot study.
Article in Tissue barriers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mechanobiological forces play a pivotal role in the processes of skin homeostasis, wound healing and regeneration. Changes in tissue stiffness are linked to various skin diseases. Using atomic force microscopy, we analyzed the elastic modulus, representing mechanical stiffness, of different skin layers in a group of six participants, including 2 males and 4 females, aged between 1 and 70 years. The skin layers, ranked from highest to lowest elastic modulus, are the epidermis, papillary dermis, upper reticular dermis, lower reticular dermis, sebaceous gland, and subcutaneous tissue. This study contributes to more understanding of the physical properties of the skin, offering a reference for further research on skin physiology or pathology.
