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

The main objective of this work is to validate an in-line micro-slit rheometer and a micro-extrusion line, both designed for the in-line monitoring and production of filaments for 3D printing using small amounts of material. The micro-filament extrusion line is first presented and its operational window is assessed. The throughputs ranged between 0.045 kg/h and 0.15 kg/h with a maximum 3% error and with a melt temperature control within 1 °C under the processing conditions tested for an average residence time of about 3 min. The rheological micro slit is then presented and assessed using low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC). The excellent matching between the in-line micro-rheological data and the data measured with off-line rotational and capillary rheometers validate the in-line micro-slit rheometer. However, it is shown that the COC does not follow the Cox-Merz rule. The COC filaments produced with the micro-extrusion line were successfully used in the 3D printing of specimens for tensile testing. The quality of both filaments (less than 6% variation in diameter along the filament's length) and printed specimens validated the whole micro-set-up, which was eventually used to deliver a rheological mapping of COC printability.
