Mimicking Alveolar Lung Structures with Lattice Designs.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) have revolutionized various sectors, including aerospace engineering, where the use of lattice structures has enabled the development of lightweight high-performance components with optimized mechanical properties. Building on these engineering principles, this study explores the application of aerospace-derived lattice design strategies to the biomedical field, specifically for the replication of human lung alveolar structures. The objective is to create anatomically accurate 3D-printed lung models suitable for surgical planning. Finite element analyses have been conducted using a CAD model of adult lungs, including the application of lattice structures generated through nTopology software, to evaluate the elasticity and density, critical for simulating lung mechanics. A preliminary prototype has been produced using stereolithography and flexible resin, showing the potential for realistic tactile feedback.
