Since experenting with tissue damage on humans is prohibited by law the only way to really prove tissue damage is on huntable animals or cuts of meat picked up at your local supermarket, but even so there will be anomolies like if bones were hit... Op if you want definitive answers go hunt as many pigs as you can with as many gun and cartridge combinations as you can. It may take years but you'll have your answers.
As far as handgun and caliber effectiveness I have a limited sample of one. My first wife "hated kids and never wanted them" hired a guy to kill me and my 1 yr old, at the time, daughter. Long story short he watched me load my 6 inch gp 100 357 mag and entered my home anyway. The shot hit torso through rib cage under right arm and logded in his spine. Load was 158 gr hornandy xtp jhp @1335 mv. At 15 feet it was effective enough.
Good Heavens, man, what a horrific story. I am glad that you survived and that you are here with us now.
