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

As additive manufacturing (AM) expands into high-end industries, ensuring both technical performance and dimensional accuracy remains a challenge. This paper addresses the challenge of integrating recycled materials into the field of plastic extrusion additive manufacturing technologies by conducting a study on the evaluation and optimization of thermoplastic extrusion parameters to improve the dimensional accuracy of additively manufactured parts from virgin and recycled polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG, rPETG) and acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA), both in virgin and recycled form. To carry out the study, 180 three-point bending specimens were additively manufactured on the QIDI Q1 Pro 3D printer by thermoplastic extrusion of PETG, rPETG, ASA, rASA (45 specimens for each type of material), using the following variable parameters: layer height deposited in one pass L
