Effect of Thermal and Hydrothermal Accelerated Aging on 3D Printed Polylactic Acid.
Article in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
In the new transformation of 'Industry 4.0', additive manufacturing technologies have become one of the fastest developed industries, with polylactic acid (PLA) playing a significant role. However, there is an increasing amount of garbage generated during the printing process and after prototypes or end-of-life parts. Re-3D printing is one way to recycle PLA waste from fused filament fabrication. To do this process successfully, the properties of the waste mixture should be known. Previous studies have found that PLA degrades hydrolytically, but the time at which this process occurs for 3D printed products is not specified. This work aims to establish the baseline of the degradation kinetics of 3D printed PLA products to predict the service time until which these properties are retained. To achieve this, 3D printed specimens were thermally and hydrothermally aged during several time intervals. Thermal and mechanical properties were also determined. This study reveals that tensile strength decreases after 1344 h of hydrothermal ageing, simulating 1.5-2.5 years of real service time. PLA therefore has the same thermo-mechanical properties before reaching 1.5-years of age, so it could be recycled.
