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
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of incorporating two different types of green nanomaterials (sugarcane and eggshell) on destructive and non-destructive properties of mortar. Nano sugarcane (NSC) was manufactured by calcining sugarcane at temperatures of 600 °C for 3 h. On the other hand, nano eggshell (NES) was manufactured by calcining eggshell at temperatures of 600 °C for 6 h. The sugarcane ash and eggshell ash were then milled to nano size. The final nano-sized product replaced Portland cement with different dosages of 2, 4 and 6%. Sixteen mortar mixtures were designed and prepared using only NSC or only NES or a combined hybrid of NSC and NES. Consistency, compressive strength, flexural strength and microstructure analysis (scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray) tests were conducted to investigate the influence of replacement materials on the performance and properties of mortars. The results showed that the use of nano sugarcane and nano eggshell enhanced the compressive strength and reduced permeability of green mortar due to the micropore structure. At the ages of 7 and 28 days, mortars containing a replacement ratio of 2% (0.5% NSC + 1.5% NES) had remarkably improved mechanical properties, and the improvement in compressive strength reached 21.3% and flexural strength to 10.08% when compared to the control sample. The efficiency of NSC and NES in increasing mortar strength was also confirmed by microstructure analysis.
