GrowCAD: bioinspired mathematical design for additive manufacturing.
Article in Royal Society open science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
While the socioeconomic and environmental benefits of additive manufacturing (AM) are acknowledged, design for AM remains a perpetual challenge in the wider implementation of the technique. Design in the context of AM is an interconnected and broad topic. It encompasses not only function and form, but also how geometry is represented digitally, the associated software and human problem-solving capabilities within the geometric opportunities and constraints. This research focuses on enhancing human knowledge and creativity within the bounds of an ever-evolving design space, encompassing digital and human capabilities. A bioinspired methodology is introduced, drawing an analogy between plant growth and the layer-by-layer AM process. This results in the development of a novel length-polar-projection coordinate system, and the associated algebraic definition of centre lines and cross-sections. This mathematical representation of geometry forms the foundation of the design framework, GrowCAD
