Influence of Process Parameters on the Resistivity of 3D Printed Electrically Conductive Structures.
Article in Micromachines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
With recent developments in conductive composites, new possibilities emerged for 3D printed conductive structures. Complementary to a vast number of publications on materials properties, here we investigate the influence of printing parameters on the resistance of 3D printed structures. The influence of printing temperature on the resistance is significant, with too low value (210 °C) leading to nozzle clogging, while increasing the temperature by 20 °C above the recommended printing settings decreases resistivity by 15%, but causing degradation of the polymer matrix. The limitations of the FDM technique, related to the dimension accuracy emerging from the layer-by-layer printing approach, greatly influence the samples' cross-section, causing irregular resistivity values for different layer heights. For samples with layer thickness lower than 0.2 mm, regardless of the nozzle diameter (0.5-1 mm), high resistance is attributed to the quality of samples. But for a 1 mm nozzle, we observe stabilized values or resistance for 0.3 to 1 mm layer height. Comparing resistance values and layer height generated from the slicer software, we observe a direct correlation-for a larger height of the sample resistance value decrease. Presented modifications in printing parameters can affect the final resistance by 50%. Controlling several parameters simultaneously poses a great challenge for designing high-efficiency structural electronics.
