Tensile strength testing in feline skin with different sizes of nylon suture material: a biomechanical in vitro study.

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
ObjectivesThis in vitro study aimed to evaluate the failure loads and failure types of sutured feline skin samples using different sizes of nylon (polyamide 6/6.6) suture material.MethodsA total of 88 skin samples from the lateral thorax and abdomen of 11 cadaveric cats were harvested using an hourglass-shaped template. In total, 80 samples from 10 cats were bisected and sutured with three simple interrupted sutures using randomly assigned nylon suture sizes (2-0, 3-0, 4-0 and 5-0 USP). Control samples remained intact. Uniaxial tensile tests were performed using a universal testing machine. Failure load and failure type were recorded and analysed. Failure mechanisms were classified as either suture material failure or tissue failure, with tissue failure defined as linear tears perpendicular to the suture line at the penetration site.ResultsSuture size significantly influenced failure load. No significant reduction in force was observed between 2-0 and 3-0 (
