1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Several 3D light-based printing technologies have been developed that rely on the photopolymerization of liquid resins. A recent method, so-called Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing, allows the fabrication of microscale objects within tens of seconds without the need for support structures. This method works by projecting intensity patterns, computed via a reverse tomography algorithm, into a photocurable resin from different angles to produce a desired 3D shape when the resin reaches the polymerization threshold. Printing using incoherent light patterning has been previously demonstrated. In this work, we show that a light engine with holographic phase modulation unlocks new potential for volumetric printing. The light projection efficiency is improved by at least a factor 20 over amplitude coding with diffraction-limited resolution and its flexibility allows precise light control across the entire printing volume. We show that computer-generated holograms implemented with tiled holograms and point-spread-function shaping mitigates the speckle noise which enables the fabrication of millimetric 3D objects exhibiting negative features of 31 μm in less than a minute with a 40 mW light source in acrylates and scattering materials, such as soft cell-laden hydrogels, with a concentration of 0.5 million cells per mL.
