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

Light-based 3D printing typically achieves high speed and resolution through multicomponent photopolymer resins that combine a separate photoinitiator and photoabsorber. Here, we show that a single visible-light dye can perform both roles at onceacting as a photoinitiator and as an optical attenuatorso that print speed, cure depth, resolution, and the final optical clarity of the construct are all governed by one component. The photobleaching and in situ photorheology of five green-to-red dyes (methylene blue, Azure A, thionine, Eosin Y, and Erythrosin B) are compared to establish which dyes combine efficient gelation with near-complete loss of their colored band. Using methylene blue as a model, dye concentration alone is shown to tune critical exposure energy (
