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

Lattice structures have gained particular interest in the last years, because of the spread of Additive Manufacturing, which allowed their production with ease. These structures may be used as functionally graded materials for lightweighting in structural components, or they can be tailored to match the mechanical properties of bone tissue for orthopedic implants. To reduce the computational time and costs of structural simulation and optimization, this study presents a numerical homogenization to determine the main elastic constants of the BCCz lattice, over its relative density. Numerical simulations are carried out on a lattice with a nominal geometry, made from a homogeneous isotropic material. Results present charts and interpolating functions of the elastic constants of the lattice, over its relative density, that may help the designer in tailoring the lattice structure to the desired applications. Results show that the BCCz presents a substantial influence of the load direction on the mechanical properties, with the z direction showing superior properties than the transverse direction. This makes the BCCz lattice ideal for those structures where the main load directions are easily predictable.
