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

Selective laser sintering (SLS) with polymers is currently at the transition stage for the production of functional components and holds great potential to revolutionize conventional production processes. Nevertheless, its application capability is confronted by newly imposed requirements regarding reliability and reproducibility. To safeguard these requirements, a deeper process understanding of material aging mechanisms in polymeric materials is needed. In order to enable the traceability of the materials as well as the identification of defective components with subsequent tracing of the cause, the use of a material marking process represents an alternative. SLS in combination with material marking is proving to be an efficient option for reproducible, high-quality manufacturing based on an increased understanding of the process. In this study, the idea of a marker-based traceability methodology for the purpose of process optimization is presented. Fundamental to the subsequent experimental investigation of the marking agent suitability, this work first focuses on the systematic selection of a suitable marking agent for use in SLS. Based on an analysis of the sinter material to be marked and a set of marking technologies, as well as using the selection methodology, the modified polymer marking technology was evaluated as the most suitable marking technology.
