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

Three-dimensional (3D) printing can create freeform architectures and electronics with unprecedented versatility. However, the full potential of electronic 3D printing has so far been limited by the inability to selectively anneal the printed materials, especially on temperature-sensitive substrates. Here, we achieve highly selective and rapid volumetric heating of 3D-printed nanomaterials and polymers in situ by focusing microwaves using a metamaterial-inspired near-field electromagnetic structure (Meta-NFS). In contrast to previous work, the Meta-NFS achieves the spatial resolution and power density needed to 3D print freeform microstructures where the electronic and mechanical properties can be locally programmed even within optically opaque materials. By broadening the material palettes compatible with 3D printing, near-field microwave 3D printing with Meta-NFS enables classes of electronics that are otherwise challenging to create.
