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

The additive manufacturing process is one of the technical domains that has had a sustained development in recent decades. The designers' attention to equipment and materials for 3D printing has been focused on this type of process. The paper presents a comparison between the results of the bending tests and those of the simulation of the same type of stress applied on 3D-printed PLA and PLA-glass structures. The comparison of the results shows that they are close, and the simulation process can be applied with confidence for the streamline of filament consumption, with direct consequences on the volume and weight of additive manufactured structures. The paper determines whether the theories and concepts valid in the strength of materials can be applied to the additive manufacturing pieces. Thus, the study shows that the geometry of the cross-section, by its shape (circular or elliptical) and type (solid or ring shaped), influences the strength properties of 3D-printed structures. The use of simulation will allow a significant shortening of the design time of the new structures. Moreover, the simulation process was applied with good results on 3D-printed structures in which two types of filaments were used for a single piece (structure).
