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

This paper presents the effects of alkali-activated blast furnace slag and fly ash (AASF) paste added with waste ceramic powder (WCP) on mechanical properties, weight loss, mesoscopic cracks, reaction products, and microstructure when exposed to 300, 600, and 900 °C. Using waste ceramic powder to replace blast furnace slag and fly ash, the replacement rate was 0-20%. The samples cured at 45 °C for 28 days were heated to 300, 600, and 900 °C to determine the residual compressive strength and weight loss at the relevant temperature. We evaluated the deterioration of the paste at each temperature through mesoscopic images, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Relevant experimental results show that: (1) with the increase in waste ceramic powder content, the compressive strength of samples at various temperatures increased, and at 300 °C, the compressive strength of all the samples reached the highest value; (2) the residual weight increased with the increase in the content of the waste ceramic powder; (3) with a further increase in temperature, all the samples produced more mesoscopic cracks; (4) at each temperature, with the rise in waste ceramic powder content, the value of the ultrasonic pulse velocity increased; (5) the TG results showed that, as the content of waste ceramic powder increased, the formation of C-A-S-H gel and hydrotalcite decreased; (6) XRD and FTIR spectra showed that, at 900 °C, the use of waste ceramic powder reduced the formation of harmful crystalline phases; (7) the SEM image showed that, at 900 °C, as the content of waste ceramic powder increased, the compactness of the sample was improved. In summary, the addition of waste ceramic powder can improve the mechanical properties of the alkali-activated paste at high temperatures, reduce the occurrence of cracks, and make the microstructure denser.
