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 analyzes the efficiency of shrinkage reducing additives for the shrinkage deformations of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete and its mechanical properties. OPC concrete was modified with an organic compound-based shrinkage reducing additive (SRA), quicklime, polypropylene fiber, and hemp fiber. It was found that a combination of 2.5% quicklime and 1.5% SRA led to the highest reduction in shrinkage deformations in concrete, and the values of shrinkage reached up to 40.0%. On the contrary, compositions with 1.5% SRA were found to have a significant reduction in compressive strength after 100 freeze-thaw cycles. Hemp fiber did not show a significant shrinkage reduction, but it is an environmentally friendly additive, which can improve OPC concrete flexural strength. Polypropylene fiber can be used in conjunction with shrinkage reducing additives to improve other mechanical properties of concrete. It was observed that 3.0 kg/m
