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 article presents the results of research that was carried out in order to analyze the capillary suction of cement mortar. Capillary suction is a common process that occurs when porous material is in free contact with moisture. The result of high capillary suction may be excessive moisture in buildings, and it is therefore important to limit the causes of such moisture. The main aim of the presented research is to show the influence of sodium silicate (in various proportions), as well as the quantity of aggregate, on capillary suction. Three different types of cement mortar and one type of fine aggregates were analyzed in the research. At the beginning, the capillary suction of the aggregates was analyzed. Afterwards, nine cement mortar bars were made, which were then used to examine the capillary suction. As a result of this study, it was proved that M15 cement mortar with basalt fine aggregate and a higher proportion of sodium silicate was the mortar with the lowest capillary suction. It was found that M15 cement mortar with basalt fine aggregate and a higher proportion of sodium silicate had 39 mm of capillary suction after 120 h of being immersed in water. M5 cement mortar without sodium silicate had the highest index of capillary suction, which shows that adding sodium silicate to cement mortar can significantly reduce capillary suction.
