Advances in Loading Techniques and Quality by Design for Fused Deposition Modeling in Pharmaceutical Production: A Systematic Review.
Review in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThree-dimensional printing technology has emerging interest in pharmaceutical manufacturing, offering new opportunities for personalized medicine and customized drug delivery systems. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is highly regarded in the pharmaceutical industry because of its cost effectiveness, easy operation, and versatility in creating pharmaceutical dosage forms. This review investigates different methods of incorporating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) into filament matrices for use in fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing.
methodsTwo electronic databases, the Web of Science and PubMed, were utilized to survey the literature. The selected keywords for this review were as follows: fused filament fabrication OR fused deposition modeling OR FDM OR FFF AND 3D printing AND loading techniques OR impregnation techniques AND solid dosage form.
resultsThis paper evaluates various loading techniques such as soaking, supercritical impregnation, microwave impregnation, and hot-melt extrusion, focusing on their effectiveness and capacity for drug incorporation. Additionally, this review includes a thorough risk assessment of the extrusion process using Ishikawa and SWOT analyses.
conclusionsOverall, this review provides comprehensive insights into the latest advancements in 3D printing for pharmaceutical applications and identifies key areas for future research and development.
