In-Vivo Hand Mass Determination and an Anthropometric Investigation on Segment Length and Radius for Prosthetic Segment Design.
Article in Healthcare technology letters. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This paper aims to demonstrate the validity of the use of a cylindrical approximation for human fingers and a parallelepiped approximation of the palm, from a modelling perspective, for the determination of the mass of the hand. The goal is to provide an intuitive way of determining the length and radius of missing segments from partial hand amputees based on palm dimensions and determine the corresponding mass based on the previous two approximations. In-vivo hand mass measurements were taken from 23 able-bodied participants using Archimedes' water displacement method to verify the geometric approximations used. Furthermore, an anthropometric investigation on how segment length and radius change with respect to palm dimensions was undertaken and the estimates found, which can then be used in supporting the design of prosthetic segments in a personalised context.
