Mechanical, Electrical, and Thermal Characterization of Pure Copper Parts Manufactured via Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (MEAM) is a novel technology to produce polymeric, metallic, and ceramic complex components. Filaments composed of a high-volume content of metal powder and a suitable binder system are needed to obtain metallic parts. Thermal and energetic controversies do not affect MEAM technology, although common in other additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. High thermal conductivity and reflectivity of copper to high-energy beams are the most challenging properties. A material extrusion technique to produce high density and quality copper parts is deeply studied in this research. Characterization of the filament, printed parts, brown parts and final sintered parts is provided. The sintering stage is evaluated through density analysis of the sintered copper parts, as well as their dimensional accuracy after part shrinkage inherent to the sintering process. The mechanical behavior of sintered parts is assessed through tensile, hardness and impact toughness tests. In addition, the measured electrical and thermal conductivities are compared to those obtained by other AM technologies. High-density components, with 95% of relative density, were successfully manufactured using MEAM technology. Similar or even superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties than those achieved by other 3D printing processes such as Electron Beam Melting, Selective Laser Melting and Binder Jetting were obtained.
