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

Stainless steel is essential in high-performance industries due to its strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, conventional manufacturing methods limit material efficiency, design complexity, and customization. Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a powerful alternative, enabling the production of stainless-steel components with complex geometries, tailored microstructures, and integrated functionalities. Key AM methodologies, including laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), binder jetting, and directed energy deposition (DED), are evaluated for their effectiveness in producing stainless-steel components with optimal performance characteristics. This review highlights innovations in stainless-steel AM, focusing on microfabrication, multi-material approaches, and post-processing strategies such as heat treatment, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and surface finishing. It also examines the impact of process parameters on microstructure, mechanical anisotropy, and defects. Emerging trends include AM-specific alloy design, functionally graded structures, and AI-based control. Applications span biomedical implants, micro-tooling, energy systems, and automotive parts, with emphasis on microfabrication for biomedical micromachines and precision microforming.
