Global Sensitivity Analysis for the Polymeric Microcapsules in Self-Healing Cementitious Composites.

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.
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
Cementitious composites with microencapsulated healing agents are appealing due to the advantages of self-healing. The polymeric shell and polymeric healing agents in microcapsules have been proven effective in self-healing, while these microcapsules decrease the effective elastic properties of cementitious composites before self-healing happens. The reduction of effective elastic properties can be evaluated by micromechanics. The substantial complicacy included in micromechanical models leads to the need of specifying a large number of parameters and inputs. Meanwhile, there are nonlinearities in input-output relationships. Hence, it is a prerequisite to know the sensitivity of the models. A micromechanical model which can evaluate the effective properties of the microcapsule-contained cementitious material is proposed. Subsequently, a quantitative global sensitivity analysis technique, the Extended Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test (EFAST), is applied to identify which parameters are required for knowledge improvement to achieve the desired level of confidence in the results. Sensitivity indices for first-order effects are computed. Results show the volume fraction of microcapsules is the most important factor which influences the effective properties of self-healing cementitious composites before self-healing. The influence of interfacial properties cannot be neglected. The research sheds new light on the influence of parameters on microcapsule-contained self-healing composites.
