Effect of the Chemical and Mechanical Recycling of PET on the Thermal and Mechanical Response of Mortars and Premixed Screeds.

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
In this paper, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was used to produce eco-innovative engineering materials with optimized performance, minimizing the environmental impact deriving from plastic consumption activity and limiting the continuous consumption of raw materials. The recycled PET obtained from waste bottles, commonly used to improve the ductility of concrete, has been used with a different weight percentage as plastic aggregate in the replacement of sand in cement mortars and as fibers added to premixed screeds. In detail, the effect of PET treatment (chemical or mechanical) on the thermal performance was evaluated. Non-destructive physical tests were conducted to determine the thermal conductivity of the investigated building materials. The performed tests showed that chemically depolymerized PET aggregate and recycled PET fibers derived from plastic wastes can reduce the heat conduction capacity of the cementitious materials with limited reduction in compressive strength. The results of the experimental campaign have made it possible to evaluate the influence of the recycled material on the physical and mechanical properties and its feasibility in non-structural applications.
