1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Biomechanical imaging through body scanning can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the soft tissue deformation exerted by compression sportswear, which is crucial in sports science research and functional sportswear design. However, displacement from movement affects alignment so accurately measuring tissue deformation with different wear conditions becomes challenging. Methods: To address this issue, an analytical model is constructed to predict tissue deformation by using the Boussinesq solution, which is based on the elastic theory and stress function method. Moreover, a novel anthropometric method based on image recognition algorithms that systematically measures and evaluates tissue deformation while minimizing the impact of the effects of motion is proposed. The mechanical properties of five leggings samples are tested by using the Instron 4,411 and KES-FB1 systems to determine the uniaxial tension and pure shear. Results: The predicted results are then compared with the experimental results, which shows that they are in good agreement, with deviations within 1.15 mm for the static condition and 2.36 mm for the dynamic condition, thus validating the proposed novel method. Discussion: This anthropometric approach is an invaluable tool for evaluating tissue deformation patterns, thus providing key insights for sportswear designers to optimize garment performance and design.
