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

Polylactide (PLA) that is reinforced with diatomaceous earth (DE) is a promising and eco-friendly material with high engineering potential. This article provides a comprehensive overview of various PLA types and processing methods for PLA + DE composites. This study aimed to determine the mechanical strength limits of PLA + DE composites using two PLA grades-amorphous PLE 005-A and semi-crystalline Ingeo 4043D-that are each filled with Perma-Guard DE 5, 10, and 15% by weight, and two manufacturing methods, injection molding (IM) and additive manufacturing (3DP), using fused filament fabrication (FFF). The mechanical properties were assessed through static tensile tests in accordance with ISO 527-1 and compared with values reported in the literature. The results indicate a linear increase in stiffness (Young's modulus) with increasing DE content. This is accompanied by a reduction in maximum tensile strength (σ
