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

3D printing technology can deliver tailored, bioactive, and biodegradable bone implants. However, producing the new, experimental material for a 3D printer could be the first and one of the most challenging steps of the whole bone implant 3D printing process. Production of polymeric and polymer-ceramic filaments involves using costly filament extruders and significantly consuming expensive medical-grade materials. Commercial extruders frequently require a large amount of raw material for experimental purposes, even for small quantities of filament. In our publication, we propose a simple system for pressure filament extruding, which allows obtaining up to 1-meter-long filament suitable for fused filament fabrication-type 3D printers, requiring only 30 g of material to begin work. Our device is based on stainless steel pipes used as a container for material, a basic electric heating system with a proportional-integral-derivative controller, and a pressurised air source with an air pressure regulator. We tested our device on various mixes of polylactide and polycaprolactone with β-tricalcium phosphate and demonstrated the possibility of screening production and testing of new materials for 3D-printed bone implants.
