Optimal geometrical selection of skin mesh: experimental analysis and numerical optimization.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Burns are among the most common injuries throughout history, and their treatment varies depending on the severity. Third-degree burns, the most severe and deadly type, cause numerous fatalities worldwide each year but can be treated using the skin mesh grafting technique-one of the latest advancements in burn care. However, an optimal skin mesh geometry has not yet been identified. This study aims to determine the best geometrical design for skin meshes by minimizing average stress, using Abaqus software for numerical analysis and extracting the hyperelastic mechanical properties of skin used in mesh grafts. Hyperelastic properties of healthy and meshed skin were obtained through uniaxial tensile tests, and different geometries were analyzed using Abaqus. The optimal mesh geometry was then determined using genetic algorithms in Abaqus and MATLAB. A rectangular mesh, measuring 1.939 mm in length and 1.698 mm in width, was identified as the best design with an average stress of 0.0757 MPa. These findings have potential applications in clinical burn research, contributing to the development of improved treatment methods.
