Mechanically-induced fiducial marker system for event-based synchronization of independent recording instruments.
Article in Measurement science & technology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Many experimental and clinical measurements require simultaneous acquisition from independent instruments that do not share a clock. We describe a device that enables such pairings via event-based synchronization: an electrical trigger from one instrument drives an Arduino-controlled stepper actuator that produces a brief mechanical event at a location sensed by the other instrument, leaving a fiducial marker for post-hoc temporal alignment. The motivating application is synchronization of high-resolution manometry (HRM) with transperineal ultrasound for phenotyping stress urinary incontinence. Bench characterization yielded a device latency of
