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 work focuses on combining digitally architected cellular structures with cementitious mortar incorporating micro-encapsulated phase change material (mPCM) to fabricated lightweight cementitious cellular composites (LCCCs). Voronoi structures with different randomness are designed for the LCCCs. Aided by the indirect 3D printing technique, the LCCCs were prepared with a reference mortar (REF) and a mortar incorporating mPCM. The compressive behavior of the LCCCs was studied at the age of 28 days, by experimental and numerical methods. It was found that the highly randomized Voronoi structure and the mPCM have minor negative influence on the compressive properties of the LCCCs. The mPCM incorporated LCCCs have high relative compressive strength compared to conventional foam concrete. Furthermore, the critical role of air voids defects on the compressive behavior was identified. The highly randomized porous Voronoi structure, high mPCM content and good compressive strength ensure the LCCCs' great potential as a novel thermal insulation construction material.
