Evaluating Cement Treated Aggregate Base Containing Steel Slag: Mechanical Properties, Volume Stability and Environmental Impacts.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Steel slag has been commonly used in road engineering as cementitious material; however, its application in base course is not widely reported. Four contents of steel slag (0%, 30%, 50%, 75% by volume) were blended into different cement (3%, 4%, 5%, 6% by weight)-treated aggregates. Mechanical properties, volume stability, economic benefits and environmental influences of steel slag mixtures were investigated for the feasibility of applying steel slag in semi-rigid base course. Abrasion, crushing and elongated particle content were compared against limestone aggregate, showing that steel slag has the potential of replacing natural aggregate in concrete. Steel slag is beneficial for reinforcement of the strength and stiffness. The mixture has the highest strength and stiffness when bended with 50% steel slag at 4% cement content. By treating steel slag with CH3COOH or adding silica fume, volume expansion of steel slag can effectively be controlled. Larger size steel slag (>4.75 mm) and higher cement content are recommended due to heavy metal leaching risk, especially in salty humid areas. Steel slag has sound economic benefits due to the relatively low price. Environmental benefits can also be achieved given that the transport CO2eq emission of steel slag is accounted for. With proper control in production process, steel slag is a very promising alternative material to be utilized in cement-stabilized base course in road engineering.
