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

Considering that the ultrasonic method is applied for the quality evaluation of concrete, this study experimentally and numerically investigates the effect of inhomogeneity caused by changes in the moisture content of concrete on ultrasonic wave propagation. The experimental results demonstrate that the propagation velocity and amplitude of the ultrasonic wave vary for different moisture content distributions in the specimens. In the analytical study, the characteristics obtained experimentally are reproduced by modeling a system in which the moisture content varies between the surface layer and interior of concrete.
