1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

An additive manufacturing technology based on projection light, digital light processing (DLP), three-dimensional (3D) printing, has been widely applied in the field of medical products production and development. The precision projection light, reflected by a digital micromirror device of million pixels instead of one focused point, provides this technology both printing accuracy and printing speed. In particular, this printing technology provides a relatively mild condition to cells due to its non-direct contact. This review introduces the DLP-based 3D printing technology and its applications in medicine, including precise medical devices, functionalized artificial tissues, and specific drug delivery systems. The products are particularly discussed for their significance in medicine. This review indicates that the DLP-based 3D printing technology provides a potential tool for biological research and clinical medicine. While, it is faced to the challenges of scale-up of its usage and waiting period of regulatory approval.
