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

It is a well-known fact that in the field of modern manufacturing processes, additive manufacturing (AM) offers unexpected opportunities for creativity and rapid development. Compared with classical manufacturing technologies, AM offers the advantages of reducing weight and improving performance and offers excellent design capabilities for prototyping and rapid sample manufacture. To achieve its full potential regarding cost, durability, material consumption, and rigidity, as well as maintaining competitiveness, there are several research directions that have not been explored. One less frequently explored direction is the involvement of dimensional methods in obtaining an optimal and competitive final product. In this review, we intend to discuss the ways in which dimensional methods, such as geometric analogy, similarity theory, and dimensional analysis, are involved in addressing the problems of AM. To the best of our knowledge, it appears that this field of engineering has not fully maximized the advantages of these dimensional methods to date. In this review, we survey mainly polymer-based AM technology. We focus on the design and optimization of highly competitive products obtained using AM and also on the optimization of layer deposition, including their orientation and filling characteristics. With this contribution to the literature, we hope to suggest a fruitful direction for specialists involved in AM to explore the possibilities of modern dimensional analysis.
