3D printed trabeculae conditionally reproduce the mechanical properties of the actual trabeculae - A preliminary study.

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
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been used to fabricate synthetic trabeculae models and to test mechanical behavior that cannot be recognized in the actual sample, but the extent to which 3D printed trabeculae replicate the mechanical behavior of the actual trabeculae remains to be quantified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of 3D printed trabeculae in reproducing the mechanical properties of the corresponding actual trabeculae. Twelve human trabecular cubes (5 × 5 × 5 mm) were scanned by micro-CT to form the trabecular 3D model. Each trabecular 3D model was scaled ×2-, ×3-, ×4- and ×5-fold and then printed twice at a layer thickness of 60 μm using poly (lactic acid) (PLA). The actual trabecular cubes and the 3D-printed trabecular cubes were first compressed under a loading rate of 1 mm/min; another replicated stack of 3D-printed trabecular cubes was compressed under a strain rate of 0.2/min. The results showed that the stiffness of the printed cubes tended to increase, while the strength tended to converge when the magnification increased under the two loading conditions. The strain rate effect was found in the printed cubes. The correlation coefficient (R
