Additive Manufacturing of Conductive Pathways for Drone Electrical Equipment.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fused filament fabrication is the most common additive manufacturing technology due to its cost-effectiveness and flexibility in customization compared to alternative production techniques. This technology holds significant promise for revolutionizing the design and fabrication of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones. The present study continues a research program dedicated to additive drone manufacturing using a simple desktop printer and polymeric materials. The previous investigation in the series determined polylactic acid (PLA) as a potential material for drone fabrication. This research continuation takes a step forward in automating the manufacture of drones, extending the 3D printing concept to producing conductive pathways suitable for electric equipment. The automation reduces the need for manual wire installation in electric equipment. The drone prototype developed in this study demonstrates the feasibility of such automated manufacturing. The analysis of conductive polymeric materials available on the market defines the electrical resistance parameters of additively manufactured UAV components that limit the efficient electric current. The conductivity analysis of the 3D-printed components also determines the materials' characteristics required to achieve the automated manufacturing goals of the electrically conductive pathways.
