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 reuse of rubber in concrete results in two major opposing effects: an enhancement in durability and a reduction in mechanical strength. In order to strengthen the mechanical properties of rubber concrete, steel fibers were added in this research. The compressive strength, the four-point bending strength, the mass loss rate, and the relative dynamic elastic modulus of steel fiber reinforced rubber concrete, subjected to cyclic freezing and thawing, were tested. The effects of the content of steel fibers on the freeze-thaw resistance are discussed. The microstructure damage was captured and analyzed by Industrial Computed Tomography (ICT) scanning. Results show that the addition of 2.0% steel fibers can increase the compressive strength of rubber concrete by 26.6% if there is no freeze-thaw effect, but the strengthening effect disappears when subjected to cyclic freeze-thaw. The enhancement of steel fibers on the four-point bending strength is effective under cyclic freeze-thaw. The effect of steel fibers is positive on the mass loss rate but negative on the relative dynamic elastic modulus.
