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

This study investigates the acoustic and mechanical performance of three types of 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) panels with varying infill densities (5-100%) and structural configurations. Using fused filament fabrication (FFF), panels were designed as follows: Type 1 (core infill only), Type 2 (core infill + 1.6 mm shell), and Type 3 (core infill + multi-layer shells). Acoustic testing via impedance tube revealed that Type 2 panels with a 65% infill density achieved the highest sound absorption coefficient (α = 0.99), while Type 1 panels exhibited superior sound transmission loss (TLn = 53.3 dB at 60% infill). Mechanical testing demonstrated that shell layers improved tensile and bending resistance by 25.7% and 36.9%, respectively, but reduced compressive strength by 23.6%. Microscopic analysis highlighted ductile failure in Type 2 and brittle fracture in Type 3. The optimal panel thickness for acoustic performance was identified as 4 mm, balancing material efficiency and sound absorption. These findings underscore the potential of tailored infill parameters in sustainable noise-control applications.
