3D printing of polypropylene reinforced with hemp fibers: Mechanical, water absorption and morphological properties.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The aim of this study was to develop and additively manufacture polypropylene-hemp fiber (PPHF) composites, which were composed of polypropylene (PP) and hemp fibers (HF) in various percentages (5%, 10%, and 20%). The objective was to examine the mechanical properties and water absorption behaviors of extruded PP, conventional filament PP and PPHF composites. The findings of the flexural and tensile tests provided important valuable information. In comparison to the other materials examined, extruded PP had the highest flexural modulus and strength, but filament PP had the lowest mechanical properties. The results showed that the 5% hemp PP composite exhibited the highest tensile strength, and the 20% hemp PP composite showed the highest Young's modulus. These results highlight how crucial hemp fiber content is in modifying the mechanical characteristics of a polymeric material to obtain the material with desirable properties for specific industry requirements.
