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 (AM) has emerged as a disruptive technique within healthcare because of its ability to provide personalized devices; however, printed metal parts still present surface and microstructural defects, which may compromise mechanical and biological interactions. This has made physical and/or chemical postprocessing techniques essential for metal AM devices, although limited fundamental knowledge is available on how alterations in physicochemical properties influence AM biological outcomes. For this purpose, herein, powder bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V samples were postprocessed with three industrially relevant techniques: polishing, passivation, and vibratory finishing. These surfaces were thoroughly characterized in terms of roughness, chemistry, wettability, surface free energy, and surface ζ-potential. A significant increase in
