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
This study presents an investigation of the effects of the precursor, alkalinity and temperature on the rheology and structural buildup of alkali activated materials. Here, 100% fly ash, 100% slag and blended mixes of fly ash and slag were activated by 4 M, 6 M, 8 M or 10 M (only for sodium hydroxide) solutions at 25 °C, 35 °C, 45 °C and 55 °C. The rheological properties were investigated to obtain the flow curves, viscosity, storage modulus, and loss factor of these materials. The results showed that for the presence of slag, a higher molarity of the alkali activating solution and a high temperature all caused greater interparticle force, leading to an increase in the shear stress and viscosity of the alkali activated materials. It was also observed that slag had the greatest effect on the increase in the storage modulus of the blended mixes. Furthermore, the higher alkalinity and temperature levels were instrumental in initiating the dissolution of fly ash and improving its rate of structural buildup. Moreover, the interdependence of various factors showed that the type of precursor, as well as the concentration of alkali activating solution, were the primary influencing factors on the polymerization process, as well as the rheological measurements of alkali-activated materials.
