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 technologies such as Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF) enable the production of polymer parts with relatively isotropic mechanical properties; however, their surface condition often limits direct functional application. This study investigates the feasibility of selected surface treatments applied to PA12GB (glass bead-filled PA12) parts manufactured by MJF, with the aim of improving abrasion resistance and temperature-related performance through the modification of surface properties. Five surface treatments were evaluated: base coating (BC), acrylic coating (AC), chemical vapor smoothing (PostPro3D), glasscoat (epoxy-based SiO
