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

Compliance mismatch between native arteries and prosthetic grafts contribute to complications such as neointimal hyperplasia and pseudoaneurysms, leading to reduced graft patency. Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers a promising solution by flexibly customizing mechanical properties using elastic polymers. This study investigates whether 3D-printed polymeric grafts can better replicate native arterial compliance compared with commercial prosthetic grafts. We conducted compliance tests on human aortoiliac arteries, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts, Dacron grafts, and 3D-printed arteries with BioMed Elastic Resin within a mock circulation loop. All samples shared controlled geometry and were tested under the same physiological flow conditions. Pressure waveforms and key hemodynamic parameters were recorded and analyzed. The 3D-printed graft demonstrated a compliance of 0.49 cm
