1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study examines the effect of proteins on the binding property and microstructure of enzymatic-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (EICP) in cementitious environment. The protein modified precipitates generally demonstrated improved binding to a glass slide surface or cement paste surface compared to the control precipitate. A marked decrease in the amount and binding strength of the precipitates in the cementitious environment was observed due to a reduction in the urease enzyme activity. The protein modified precipitates exhibited noticeable improvement compared to the control precipitate in cementitious environment which could arise from the ability of the proteins to partially shield urease from the negative effect of high pH. The protein gel network formation due to the complexation between the proteins and Ca
