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

Electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing is a modern and decent fabrication method widely used to print high-resolution versatile microstructures with features down to 10 μm. It is currently difficult to break nanoscale resolution (<100 nm) due to limitations of fluid properties, voltage variations, and needle shapes. This paper presents developments in drop-on-demand e-jet printing based on a phase-field method using a novel combined needle and straight electrode to print on a flexible PET substrate. Initially, the simulation was performed to form a stable cone jet by coupling an innovative straight electrode parallel to a combined needle that directs the generation of droplets at optimized parameters, such as f = 8.6 × 10−10 m3s−1, Vn = 9.0 kV, and Vs = 4.5 kV. Subsequently, printing experiments were performed using optimized processing parameters and all similar simulation conditions. Microdroplets smaller than 13 μm were directly printed on PET substrate. The model is considered unique and powerful for printing versatile microstructures on polymeric substrates. The presented method is useful for MEMS technology to fabricate various devices, such as accelerometers, smartphones, gyroscopes, sensors, and actuators.
