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

Copper was manufactured by using a low-cost 3D printing device and copper oxide water-based colloids. The proposed method avoids the use of toxic volatile solvents (used in metal-based robocasting), adopting copper oxide as a precursor of copper metal due to its lower cost and higher chemical stability. The appropriate rheological properties of the colloids have been obtained through the addition of poly-ethylene oxide-co-polypropylene-co-polyethylene oxide copolymer (Pluronic P123) and poly-acrylic acid to the suspension of the oxide in water. Mixing of the components of the colloidal suspension was performed with the same syringes used for the extrusion, avoiding any material waste. The low-temperature transition of water solutions of P123 is used to facilitate the homogenization of the colloid. The copper oxide is then converted to copper metal through a reductive sintering process, performed at 1000°C for a few hours in an atmosphere of Ar-10%H
