Computed Tomography Attenuation of Three-Dimensional (3D) Printing Materials-Depository to Aid in Constructing 3D-Printed Phantoms.
Article in Micromachines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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-dimensionally printed phantoms are increasingly used in medical imaging and research due to their cost-effectiveness and customizability, offering valuable alternatives to commercial phantoms. The purpose of this study was to assess the computed tomography (CT) attenuation characteristics of 27 resin materials from Formlabs, a 3D printing equipment and materials manufacturer. Cube phantoms (both solid and hollow constructions) produced with each resin were subjected to CT scanning under varying tube current-time products with attenuation measurements recorded in Hounsfield units (HU). The resins exhibited a wide range of attenuation values (-3.33 to 2666.27 HU), closely mimicking a range of human tissues, from fluids to dense bone structures. The resins also demonstrated consistent attenuation regardless of changes in the tube current. The CT attenuation analysis of FormLabs resins produced an archive of radiological imaging characteristics of photopolymers that can be utilized to construct more accurate tissue mimicking medical phantoms and improve the evaluation of imaging device performance.
