Improvement of consolidation properties of clay soil using fine-grained construction and demolition waste.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
As urbanization spreads rapidly, more structures are being built, and more construction and demolition waste (CDW) is produced, occupying about 36-40% of the total solid waste generation in the world; hence, CDW has become a burden nowadays. Moreover, the construction of low-rise buildings on weak soil is always challenging and costly due to the soil's high compressibility and low bearing capacity. Sand or other granular materials are commonly used to improve the compressibility behavior and associated settlement, drainage, and shear strength of weak soil. The massive use of natural sand for construction purposes of different civil engineering structures have lessened their reserves in recent times, increasing their price and destroying the balance in the environment. Among the several methods of improving soil, this research uses fine-grained CDW to improve the geotechnical behavior of weak soil under study. The main objective of this research is to observe the changes in soil properties after mixing with CDW. Recycled waste mortar powder has been selected as CDW mixed in different percentages in the soil. In addition, CDW powder was inserted into soil mass as a circular powder column in triangular and square grid patterns as an alternative to the sand column. CDW in the soil samples improved consolidation settlement, and reduced settlement time and compression index. Increments in the pre-consolidation pressure, consolidation rate, and permeability of the clay-CDW mixtures were also remarkable. Soil improvement through reusing CDW is a sustainable way to solve problems in solid waste management and the soft soil settlement issue under a shallow foundation, ultimately reducing the environmental footprints, saving natural resources, and supporting the circular economy concept.
