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

The rapid development of additive manufacturing has enabled the production of personalized biomedical devices, including custom orthoses that must retain their structural integrity under demanding physiological conditions. This study evaluates the performance of 3D-printed polymers-blue and white polylactic acid (PLA), Standard Blue Resin, and an ecological soy-based resin-after exposure to simplified, controlled saline environments related to sweat contact and hygiene-associated conditions. Moisture absorption and Shore A hardness were analyzed as response variables to assess material stability under different experimental conditions. A surface methodology based on a Box-Behnken design was used to quantify the effects of specimen thickness (x
