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

Microneedles (MNs) hold significant potential for applications in transdermal drug delivery and biosensing. However, when traditional 3D printing technology is used for their manufacture, a substantial deviation in output size occurs. The effects of various parameters on the morphology of MNs produced through microscale 3D printing remain unclear. This study investigated the relationship between the design and fabrication of acrylic resin MNs and their output forms via a projection microstereolithography (PµSL) technology system. Modifying the shape parameters and array configurations elucidates the causes of size deviation and proposes a control strategy. This is particularly significant for the prototyping and mold manufacturing of MNs in relevant fields. This study indicates that a printing layer thickness of 10 µm optimally balances efficiency and clinical conversion requirements. Additionally, an exposure intensity of 65 mW/cm
