A Wearable Ultrasound Sensing System for Soft Tissue Stiffness Detection: A Feasibility Study.
Article in Biosensors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Manual palpation serves as a conventional clinical method for assessing soft tissue stiffness; however, its results are susceptible to subjective factors and exhibit limited reliability. To achieve objective evaluation of pathological tissue stiffness, this study utilizes ultrasonic transducers to measure the time-of-flight (ToF) difference in ultrasound signals in silicone samples and ex vivo animal tissues under specific pressure gradients. A correlation model between the ToF difference and tissue stiffness was established, thereby enabling the detection of tissue stiffness. Based on this methodology, a wearable sensing system incorporating ultrasonic transducers was developed. The system applies fixed gradient pressure to human tissues via a pneumatic control unit and detects the corresponding ToF difference, allowing real-time monitoring of stiffness variations in the biceps brachii and thigh during relaxation and contraction, in the forearm during gripping and release actions, as well as in simulated lesions. This study provides a quantitative technological framework for wearable tissue stiffness monitoring, and its objective measurement characteristics offer support for clinical diagnostic decision-making.
