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
Polymeric materials are widely used in medical engineering, and with the dynamic development of additive manufacturing (AM) technology, increasing attention is being paid to research on the mechanical strength of composite polymer structures. At the same time, the impact of sterilization on, for example, surgical templates and the influence of the sterilization process on the geometry of these parts have not been sufficiently studied. In this work, the effect of steam sterilization on samples made of polymer materials for medical applications was presented. This research was carried out on samples with normative geometry made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymers produced using the Material Extrusion (MEX) AM process and acrylic formulation (MED610) produced by Jetting Modeling Technology (JMT). These materials provide biocompatibility, which makes them suitable for potential medical applications. Steam sterilization was performed in an autoclave at temperatures of 121 °C and 134 °C. The three-point bending strength properties were determined according to ISO 178 standards. An INSTRON 5967 strength testing machine was used for those tests. Surface roughness analysis (according to ISO 21920) was performed and presented in 2D and 3D surface views using the Mountains Map Software (version 6.0).
