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
The mechanical properties of biological tissues and cells are novel marks reflecting their physiological and pathological states. Conventional techniques for mechanical measurements are often limited by bulkiness or ex vivo constraints. In this paper, we developed an all-silicon resonant MEMS force sensor. The sensor uses electromagnetic excitation to achieve stable operation in atmospheric conditions, and integrates a high-Q resonator synchronization enhanced technique. This design improves the resolution of the sensor and reduces detection noise without sensitivity attenuation. Surface Young's modulus tests were conducted on human gastric tissues. We revealed the mechanical differences among normal, tumor and fibrotic tissues which offers mechanical indicators for distinguishing these morphologically similar tissues in clinical scenarios. Notably, the measurement process is gentle and non-destructive, ensuring the integrity of tissue samples. This sensor provides a high-precision, miniaturized tool for tissue mechanical characterization, which can be used for navigation in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery.
