Fused Deposition Modeling of Polymer Composites: Development, Properties and Applications.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 review summarizes recent research advancements in thermoplastic composites used in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) processes. Since its development in 1988, FDM has emerged as one of the primary emerging technologies of Industry 4.0, receiving attention in fields such as industrial manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and others, particularly for rapid prototyping and customization. The intention is to make available a guideline for 3D printing researchers, analyzing the properties and performance characteristics of different polymers and polymeric composites. The review analysis covers various reinforcing agents, including particles/nanoparticles, short fibers, and long fibers, identifying critical parameters of the FDM process which affect printed part quality, integrity and final geometry. Major attention is devoted to the different techniques employed for composite filament fabrication, mostly for structural elements and parts. An extensive overview of various FDM composites and fiber-reinforced composites by polymer matrices such as PLA, ABS, and PEEK is presented, with their mechanical and thermal properties reported for specific applications. Current challenges and prospective future research directions are also outlined, mainly focusing on the enhancement of material performance and sustainability.
