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

Biobased and biodegradable poly-l-lactide (PLLA) stands out among piezoelectric polymers for its biocompatibility and environmental sustainability. Its piezoelectric response is closely related to the crystallinity and the alignment of polymer chains, which is conventionally obtained by drawing techniques. These are two-step processes with tight shape constraints, and the material technology implementation would strongly benefit from the demonstration of a single-step process capable of directly achieving tailored piezoelectric morphology in PLLA biopolymer from polymer melt. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) three-dimensional (3D) printing can play this role, directly achieving tailored piezoelectric morphology in PLLA biopolymer by the microscale control of molecular chain orientation through preparation parameters, such as 3D printing speed or bed temperature. The printing-crystal phase content and texture-piezoelectric property relationships are comprehensively presented, and the key 3D printing parameters to obtain optimized piezoelectric chain morphologies are defined. Results reveal melt-based 3D printing to be a suitable technique for manufacturing biocompatible PLLA piezoelectric platforms that are also biodegradable. A commercial PLLA (molecular weight of 160 kDa) has been used, with which a large shear piezoelectric coefficient (
