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

Additive manufacturing technologies allow producing a regular three-dimensional mesh of interconnected struts that form an open-cell porous structure. Regular porous structures have been used in the orthopedic industry due to outstanding bone anchoring. The aim of the study was to determine how the postprocessing influences the mechanical properties of porous structures made of titanium alloy CL 41TI ELI. The effect of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) as a method of increasing microstructural integrity was investigated here. The influence of surface etching (SE) technique, which was applied to the porous structure for cleaning unmelted titanium powder particles on the surface of connectors from the inner surfaces of a porous structure, was examined in this study. Mechanical properties were investigated by means of compression tests. The results point out that HIP has a minor effect on the mechanical behavior of considered porous structures. The SE is an effective method to clean the surface of a porous structure, which is very important in the case of biomedical applications when loose powder can cause serious health problems. Another effect of the SE is also the strut thickness reduction. Reducing strut thickness of a porous structure with the surface etching decreases its stiffness to the same extent as predicted by the relative density theoretical model but did not result in structural damage.
