Comprehensive Sliding Wear Analysis of 3D-Printed ABS, PLA, and HIPS: ANOVA, SEM Examination, and Wear Volume Measurements with Varying Layer Thickness.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study discusses the frictional wear performance of three 3D-printed materials, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), and high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), while evaluating different layer thickness levels. The materials were subjected to wear volume and rate tests by ball-on-disc wear tests at various thickness levels (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm) and sliding distances. Lastly, SEM analysis was carried out to study the wear tracks and debris developed during the testing. Quantitatively, ABS maintained a mean wear volume below 0.15 mm
