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 implementation of stereolithography (SLA) for fabricating 3D-structured polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) has greatly improved the resolution, manufacturing potential, and widespread capability to produce complicated component geometries in ceramic materials. However, different material systems impose challenges to the traditional UV SLA photo-cross-linking process due to a narrow window of material selection requirements-UV transparency, UV degradation resistance, the ability to support the photoinduced radical curing mechanism, and ambient shelf life stability. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) thermal SLA printing technology is demonstrated on a composite thermally curable acrylate-based highly loaded resin to overcome current issues with UV light-driven SLA additive manufacturing of preceramic polymers (PCP). For this thermal SLA cross-linking method, a high-intensity NIR laser (λ = 808 nm) was used to generate localized thermal heating at the resin pool interface, which led to rapid, targeted thermal free-radical polymerization and solidification of the SiC particle-laden acrylate-based resin during laser scanning. Thermally cured printed parts were demonstrated using a gantry-based movement platform and a resin pool in a top-down laser scanning configuration. After printing, the green bodies were debinded, followed by polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) during postprocessing, which enhanced the mechanical strength of the pyrolyzed samples. This work demonstrated the fabrication of a reinforced PDC composite material with crystalline silicon carbide (SiC) fillers and an amorphous matrix made of silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) and silicon carbonitride (SiCN). The flexural strength of the NIR-printed samples reached 48 MPa with a fracture toughness of 4 MPa·m
