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

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) significantly affects the performance and reliability of electronic devices. Although current metallic shielding materials are effective, they have drawbacks such as high density, limited flexibility, and poor corrosion resistance that limit their wider application in modern electronics. This study investigates the EMI shielding properties of 3D-printed conductive structures made from polylactic acid (PLA) infused with 0D carbon black (CB) and 1D carbon nanotube (CNT) fillers. This study demonstrates that CNT/PLA composites exhibit superior EMI shielding effectiveness (SE), achieving 43 dB at 10 GHz, compared to 22 dB for CB/PLA structures. Further, conductive coating of polyaniline (PANI) electrodeposition onto the CNT/PLA structures improves the SE to 54.5 dB at 10 GHz. This strategy allows fine control of PANI loading and relevant tuning of SE. Additionally, the 3D-printed PLA-based composites offer several advantages, including lightweight construction and enhanced corrosion resistance, positioning them as a sustainable alternative to traditional metal-based EMI shielding materials. These findings indicate that the SE of 3D-printed materials can be substantially improved through low-cost and straightforward PANI electrodeposition, enabling the production of customized EMI shielding materials with enhanced performance. This novel fabrication method offers promising potential for developing advanced shielding solutions in electronic devices.
