A systematic study on sustainable low carbon cement - Superplasticizer interaction: Fresh, mechanical, microstructural and durability characteristics.
Review in Heliyon, 2023. 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
As governments around the world take on ambitious construction projects, from housing to infrastructure to transportation, the demand for cement is set to rise. It is anticipated that global cement production is set to achieve a compound annual growth rate of ∼5.1% for the years 2022-2025. The negative impact of cement production on the environment, such as carbon emissions and energy consumption, is also well known. This instigates the need to look for alternative and sustainable supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as Fly ash (FA), Limestone (LS), Metakaolin (MK), Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and Silica fume (SF) which when blended with Portland clinker result in lower carbon emissions and better end products. With expanding cement demand, the need for chemical admixtures has also increased. This comprehensive study focuses on the compatibility of commercially available superplasticizers with SCMs blended low carbon cement and their influence on fresh and hardened properties along with microstructural and durability aspects. The chemistry of superplasticizers and how it effects the hydration mechanism of blended cement are also highlighted in detail. Moreover, the effect of different types of superplasticizers, their dosage, water binder ratio, and details of experiments used by other authors are also discussed and listed. As cementitious matrix containing any kind of SCM such as FA showed better environmental performance on the basis of life cycle assessment which was due to carbon emission factor (ξ
