Investigation of the Performance of Ti6Al4V Lattice Structures Designed for Biomedical Implants Using the Finite Element Method.
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 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
The development of medical implants is an ongoing process pursued by many studies in the biomedical field. The focus is on enhancing the structure of the implants to improve their biomechanical properties, thus reducing the imperfections for the patient and increasing the lifespan of the prosthesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different lattice structures under laboratory conditions and in a numerical manner to choose the best unit cell design, able to generate a structure as close to that of human bone as possible. Four types of unit cell were designed using the ANSYS software and investigated through comparison between the results of laboratory compression tests and those of the finite element simulation. Three samples of each unit cell type were 3D printed, using direct metal laser sintering technology, and tested according to the ISO standards. Ti6Al4V was selected as the material for the samples. Stress-strain characteristics were determined, and the effective Young's modulus was calculated. Detailed comparative analysis was conducted between the laboratory and the numerical results. The average Young's modulus values were 11 GPa, 9 GPa, and 8 GPa for the
