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
The contemporaneous world of development and urbanization generates extreme stresses on building infrastructures, and the use of soil as a load-bearing material is a prerequisite for such activity. However, if the foundation soil lacks enough bearing capacity and shear strength and shows excessive settlements, unescapable failures will occur in constructed infrastructures. As such, improvement or stabilization of soft clay soil is crucial before initiating any construction project to limit the potentiality of post-construction faults and damages. In this research, the efficiency of ladle refined furnace (LRF) slag has been investigated to stabilize the geotechnical properties of poor conditioned-soft clayey soil, which will also lessen the environmental degradation due to the unplanned dumping of LRF slag. Various experimental programs such as the Atterberg limit, consolidation, compaction, unconfined compressive strength, and California Bearing Ratio tests were carried out in this study. Experimental results revealed that adding LRF slag in different percentages augmented the strength and dry density of the original soil to a considerable extent, and the optimum percentage of LRF slag was 20%. 20% LRF content in the soil increased the UCS value of the soil by 219%, CBR value by 47%, and reduced consolidation settlement by 30%. Additionally, the test results were further evaluated by the SEM-EDS test.
