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 research will help to improve our understanding of the fracture properties of ECC at low temperatures (long-term low temperatures, freeze-thaw) and evaluate the safety properties of ECC under low-temperature conditions. Three levels of saturation (saturated, semi-saturated, and dry), four target temperatures (20, 0, -20, and -60 °C), and the effect of the coupled of the two on the mode I fracture properties of ECC were investigated. Then, we compared and analyzed the fracture properties of ECC loaded at 20 and -20 °C, after different freeze-thaw cycles (25, 50, 100 cycles), which were compared with saturated specimens without freeze-thaw at the four target temperatures to analyze the differences in low-temperature and freeze-thaw failure mechanisms. Temperatures and saturation have a significant effect on the fracture properties. Low temperatures and freeze-thaw treatments both decreased the nominal fracture energy of ECC. Distinct differences in matrix and fiber-matrix interface damage mechanisms have been discovered. Low temperatures treatment transforms ECC from a ductile to a brittle fracture mode. However, even after 100 freeze-thaw cycles, it remains ductile fractured. This study complements the deficiencies of ECC in low-temperature theoretical and experimental applications, and it sets the stage for a broad range of ECC applications.
