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

Additive manufacturing techniques, particularly vat photopolymerization (VPP), have emerged as significant drivers of advancements in materials and technology. VPP offers unparalleled precision and detail in translating complex three-dimensional (3D) forms, making it particularly suitable for smart polymers responsive to external factors such as pH, heat, magnetic fields, electric fields, humidity, light, and temperature. This review comprehensively explores the mechanisms and applications of VPP in fabricating smart polymer-based structures for biomedical purposes. It begins by detailing various VPP methods, highlighting the growing demand for innovative solutions in the biomedical sector. The review further examines the advantages of VPP, including its capability to handle intricate geometries, facilitate rapid prototyping, and provide design flexibility with diverse material options. Additionally, it discusses the challenges and prospects of materials such as bioabsorbable polymers and bioinks, emphasizing their role in bone tissue engineering, dentistry, drug delivery, and tissue regeneration. This review could be a valuable resource for biomedical engineers and clinical researchers seeking to integrate advanced printing technologies into biomedical applications.
