Thermal Post-Processing of 3D-Printed Poly(glycerol dodecanedioate) Controls Mechanics and Shape Memory Properties.

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
In the clinic, patients largely prefer treatment via minimally invasive procedures (MIS). This patient preference has led to increased interest in the use of shape memory polymers (SMP) for the development of medical devices that can be delivered via MIS. Acrylated poly-(glycerol-dodecanedioate) (APGD) is a biodegradable SMP that shows promise for use in MIS procedures. APGD can be 3D printed using both material extrusion (ME) and vat photopolymerization (VP) printing modalities; however, differences were measured between APGD samples' physical, mechanical, and shape memory properties. This work looks to characterize the effects of thermal post-processing on 3D printed APGD and to determine whether thermal post-processing is able to reduce these differences in APGD properties due to manufacture modality. Differences in melt transition (
