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

purposeThick-walled vascular models, including block models, are increasingly used for in vitro investigations of fluid dynamics and endovascular device testing, particularly fatigue testing at high frequencies, as valuable alternatives to thin-walled models due to their simpler fabrication. Physiologically compliant models provide more realistic insights into hemodynamics and implant deformation; however, no compact and experimentally validated closed-form equation exists to predict the volumetric compliance of thick-walled vessel models.

methodsA closed-form mathematical equation was derived to estimate the volumetric compliance of thick-walled cylindrical vessel models. The equation was experimentally validated through static compliance tests on cylindrical vascular models of varying wall thicknesses fabricated from two silicone elastomers and polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (PVA-H) with four PVA concentrations (10, 12, 14, and 16 wt/vol.%). Dynamic compliance tests were performed at 1, 5, 10, and 30 Hz to assess the viscoelastic behavior of the materials. Finally, an applicability study was performed by fabricating block-form anatomical aneurysm models targeting physiological volumetric compliance based on the predicted equation.

resultsPredicted and measured values showed strong agreement (R

conclusionThis study provided a validated mathematical and experimental framework for fabricating thick-walled vascular models with physiologically relevant volumetric compliance and viscoelasticity for fluid dynamics and endovascular device testing.
