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

The application of FRPs in civil infrastructure has increased, particularly in the last 20 years. FRPs have gained importance because of their resistance to harsh environments, high strength-to-weight ratio, and good corrosion resistance, and they are faster and easier to apply than other traditional methods. The rehabilitation of structures is the main area in which FRPs have been developed, because they have allowed for compliance with architectural restraints in historic structures. This review is a compilation of the research conducted on the laboratory and field applications of FRPs, highlighting the different applied methods, installation difficulties, and failure modes of FRPs. Moreover, this review compares studies on the types of fibers such as CFRPs, GFRPs, and AFRPs, and their effects would affect the mechanical properties of civil infrastructure and the durability characteristics of civil infrastructure in challenging environmental conditions. In addition, this review focuses on the modification of the mechanical properties of structural elements using different methods of installing FRPs, including externally bonded reinforcement (EBR), and their main problem: debonding failure before the ultimate load.
