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

In this study, the effect of internal pores formed by a superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was analyzed by evaluating the compressive strength, chloride penetration depth, drying shrinkage, and pore size distribution of SAP-containing concrete, while securing workability using a water-reducing agent (WRA). The experimental results showed that the amount of WRA necessary increased as the amount of SAP added increased, and that the compressive strength was the highest when the SAP content was 1.5% of the concrete mix. Drying shrinkage tended to decrease as the SAP content increased, and it decreased by approximately 31-41% when the SAP content was 2.0% compared to that of the reference mix. The SAP expanded by approximately three times inside concrete, and it was distributed within the internal pores of air-entrained concrete. The optimal SAP content in concrete mix was 1.5%, and an SAP content of 2.0% or higher adversely affected the workability and compressive strength.
