Comparative Study on the Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beam Retrofitted with CFRP Strengthening Techniques.
Article in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Lateral reinforcement has a significant impact on the strength and ductility of concrete. Extra confinement is provided in this project by carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets wrapped around the outside of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. To determine the failure criteria and maximum load-carrying capacity of beams, numerous specimens were cast and tested in a flexural testing machine. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of functionally damaged reinforced concrete beams repaired in flexure with CFRP sheets. The most essential variable in this study is the CFRP sheet scheme, and seven different strengthening schemes (B1 to B7) were explored in the experimental program. In conclusion, the findings of the study showed that flexural retrofitting of reinforced concrete beams with CFRP sheets is functionally effective, with restored strength and stiffness values roughly equivalent to or greater than those of the control beam (CB1). The efficiency of the flexural retrofitting mechanism appears to vary depending on the layout of the CFRP sheet. Steel rupture and concrete crushing were shown to be the most common failure modes in the investigation, causing CFRP sheets to break in retrofitted beams.
