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
This paper purposed to prepare poly (lactic acid)/continuous cotton thread (PLA /CCT) filaments by using prepreg method, and investigated the properties of PLA/CCT filament and their 3D printed composites. Firstly, a prepreg device was home-made to immerse CCT with PLA melts. The effects of the dragging speed and tensioning equipment on the quality of PLA/CCT filament was investigated. The functions of the immersion temperature, diameter of CCT and alkali treatment of CCT to the tensile properties of PLA/CCT filament were inspected. The results showed that when the dragging speed was 12 r/min, the diameter of the PLA/CCT filament equaled to the standard 3D printed diameter (1.75 mm). Increasing the CCT diameter from 0.6 to 1.0 mm, the tensile strength was improved from 44.26 to 52.81 MPa. The alkali treatment reduced the contact angle of PLA dramatically, and further improved the interfacial compatibility between PLA and CCT, and enhanced the tensile properties of filament composites. Secondly, for achieving CCT without any cutting during the 3D printing, an un-cutting off route was planned. Taguchi experiment was used to investigate how the 3D printing processing parameters affect the flexural properties of the 3D printed PLA/CCT composites. Meanwhile, the impact properties of the 3D printed PLA/CCT composites were analyzed. The results showed that the flexural strength and strain of PLA were improved to 135 MPa and 4.39% with 3D parameters (210℃ of nozzle temperature and 6 mm/s of printing speed). The impact strength of PLA was enhanced dramatically by 5.5% times from 2.75 to 18.87 J/mm
