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

The shift toward lightweight powertrain architectures necessitates a detailed characterization of polymer gears to verify their efficiency and durability. This study investigated the effectiveness of non-contact structured-light 3D scanning for evaluating the surface topography and dimensional tolerance quality of polymer gears produced via distinct manufacturing technologies. A structured-light 3D scanner was used to capture dense point clouds (exceeding 6 million points) of gears produced by three methods: conventional hobbing (POM-C), Material Extrusion (MEX) with carbon fiber reinforcement, and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). The manufactured parts were compared against the nominal Computer Aided Design (CAD) models to evaluate their geometrical deviations in accordance with DIN 3961 and surface roughness parameters per ISO 25178. The experimental results revealed a consistent ranking of manufacturing quality. The conventionally hobbed POM-C gear exhibited superior precision, achieving DIN quality grades of Q9-Q10 and the smoothest surface finish (S
