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 functional properties of composites modified by superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) strongly depend on the swelling capacity of applied SAPs. In this sense, three types of commercially available SAPs namely Cablock CT, Hydropam, and Creasorb SIS with different chemical composition and particle size distribution were studied in this manuscript to reveal the differences in absorptivity as can be viewed as pretests for their utilization in concrete composites. In addition, absorptivity in distilled water, tap water, and 0.1 M NaCl solution are examined for determining the SAPs response for the change of the solution pH. To overcome problems with the teabag method inaccuracy, the new method is introduced. Besides to quantitative evaluation of the SAPs absorptivity, the correlation for the absorption and desorption period as the function of SAPs residence time within the examined solution is proposed. To access the effect of selected SAPs on functional properties, optimization based on the flow table test is employed and mechanical parameters are determined after 7, 14, 28, and 90 days of curing. Obtained results refer to substantial differences between particular SAPs and contribute to the understanding of the effect of SAP on the functional properties of cement-based materials.
