Process and Mechanism of Cutting Polyamide Films with an Ultraviolet Picosecond Laser.
Article in Micromachines, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Polyamide (PA) films have been widely utilized in high-precision medical devices and aerospace components, while laser precision cutting technology has significantly broadened their application scope. Although ultraviolet (UV) picosecond lasers are effective for high-precision cutting of PA films, their cutting mechanism and the optimization method for the process remain to be elucidated. First, the mechanism of UV picosecond laser cutting of PA films was investigated through a simulation of the thermal degradation process and analysis of the solid/gas byproduct composition. The results indicate that the photochemical reaction primarily dominates the process, with the photothermal effect contributing synergistically. Second, a cutting quality evaluation framework was established, with the kerf width and heat-affected zone (HAZ) width as its primary metrics, followed by an orthogonal experiment. The experimental results revealed the influence of process parameters on the cutting quality, and it was determined that an optimal process parameter combination exists, identified as 80 mm/s, 1.67 W, and three times (cutting speed, laser power, repetition number of cutting). Under this optimal configuration, narrow kerf (23.6 ± 2.7 μm) and HAZ (28.4 ± 3.3 μm) were achieved.
