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

Printing technology has been designated as a useful method for in-space manufacturing (ISM) of electronics. A low-power payload method is necessary for sintering printed electronics in space. This work investigates laser sintering as a viable option for ISM. Specifically, we present our work on laser sintering silver-palladium (AgPd) on rigid alumina substrates for developing liquid conductivity sensors for water reclamation processes for low Earth orbit applications. The laser sintering parameters are laser wavelength, power, and scanning speed. The laser systems studied are continuous wave lasers at 445 nm, 808 nm, 915 nm, and 1064 nm, as well as a pulsed fs laser with a 1040 nm wavelength. The laser powers tested for each continuous wave laser are limited to 1-6 W, and 0.1-1 W for the fs laser, due to the laser systems' power limitations. The scanning speed range tested is 0.1-1 mm/s. The 445 nm laser is determined to work most efficiently at sintering AgPd, resulting in a maximum increase in conductivity from 10
