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

To develop a composite filament with an electromagnetic-wave-absorbing function suitable for 3D printing, we combined thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as the matrix material and carbonyl iron powder (CIP) as the absorbing agent to prepare TPU/CIP composites by melt blending. The composites passed through a single-screw extruder to obtain a filament with 2.85 mm in diameter. Different absorber structures were printed using fused deposition modeling, and their absorption properties were tested using the bow method. The results showed that by increasing CIP content, the electromagnetic-wave absorption performance gradually improved, while the mechanical properties substantially decreased. When the mass fraction of the CIP was 60%, the TPU/CIP composite showed good absorption properties and could be prepared into a filament that met the requirements for fused deposition modeling. Simulation results of plate-wave-absorption performance showed that, when the plate thickness was 3 mm, the minimum reflection loss was -21.98 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth (for reflection loss below -10 dB) was 3.1 GHz (4.55-7.65 GHz). After the TPU/CIP composite was printed into honeycomb, pyramid, and other absorber structures, the absorption performance was further improved. For a structure printed with a gradient-wall honeycomb structure at 3 mm thickness, the effective absorption bandwidth was 4.64 GHz (8.48-13.12 GHz), and the minimum reflection loss was -36.69 dB. The effective absorption bandwidth of the pyramid structure reached 15.88 GHz (2.12-18 GHz), and the minimum reflection loss was -49.75 dB.
