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

The photopolymerization process in 3D printing is considered greener once it involves a fast reaction and low energy consumption. Various reactions for photopolymerization can be used nowadays, but a special one is the thiol-ene "click" reaction that occurs in equimolar concentrations of thiol and alkene groups. In this sense, solvent-free photopolymerizable formulations were prepared to contain non-modified castor oil, Trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercapto propionate), and cellulosic fillers from hemp, tagua, and walnut. All formulations presented conversions higher than 70% and fast polymerization rates. Moreover, the filled formulations presented excellent curing depths in fewer seconds of light exposition, an important factor for their applicability in 3D printing. Furthermore, the hemp filler formulation presented the highest crosslinking density as determined by the DMTA, and was selected for printing two complex structures (pyramid and honeycomb shape). The rheology analysis showed that the formulations had adequate viscosities for the printer. Lastly, all polymers presented at least 97% bio-based contents, with gel contents superior to 96%.
