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

Microcellular injection moulding is an important injection moulding technique to create foaming plastic parts. However, there are no consistent conclusions on the impact of processing parameters on the cell morphology of microcellular injection moulded parts. This paper investigates the influence of the main processing parameters, such as melt temperature, mould temperature, injection pressure, flow rate, shot volume and gas dosage amount, on the average cell size and weight reduction of a talc-reinforced polypropylene square part (165 mm × 165 mm × 3.2 mm), using the commercial software Moldex 3D. The effect of each parameter is investigated considering a range of values and the simulation results were compared with published experimental results. The differences between numerical and experimental trends are discussed.
