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

Knowledge of the behavior of highly compacted expansive clays, as an engineered barrier, in disposal of high-level nuclear waste (HLW) systems to prevent the pollution due to migration of radionuclide is extremely essential. The prominent properties of globally and widely used bentonites have been extensively studied during past two decades. In China, GaoMiaoZi (GMZ) bentonite is the first choice as a buffer or backfill material for deep geological repositories. This review article presents the recent progresses of knowledge on water retention properties, hydromechanical behavior, and fractal characteristics of GMZ bentonite-based materials, by reviewing 217 internationally published research articles. Firstly, the current literature regarding hydrogeochemical and mechanical characteristics of GMZ bentonite influenced by various saline solutions are critically summarized and reviewed. Then, the role of osmotic suction π alongside the application of surface fractal dimension D
