Application of 3D Printing Technology in Furniture Construction.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In recent years, 3D printing technology has become very important in many fields of science, manufacturing, design, medicine, aviation, sports, etc. Furniture design and manufacturing are also not left out of this trend. In this study, the results of bending moments and stiffness of joints of thin structural elements connected by 3D printing with polylactic acid (PLA) connectors are given. The connectors are newly developed, and information on their strength characteristics is lacking in the literature. Ten joints were investigated, made with 9 and 12 mm plywood and 6 mm MDF. The tested joints constructed by 3D-printed connecting elements show a high strength under arm compression bending load, between 44.16 and 24.02 N·m. The stiffness coefficients of joints with 3D-printed connecting elements are between 348 and 145 N·m/rad and are higher than those of conventional detachable mitre joints but lower than those of glued ones. The type of filling of the hollow section of the connecting elements and the wall thickness influenced the joints' strength and stiffness. Reducing the width of the connecting elements from 40 to 30 mm and the inner radius between the arms from 2 to 1 mm does not significantly affect the joints' strength and stiffness coefficients.
