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 utilization of Self-compacting Concrete (SCC) has escalated worldwide due to its superior properties in comparison to normal concrete such as compaction without vibration, increased flowability and segregation resistance. Various other desirable properties like ductile behaviour, increased strain capacity and tensile strength etc. can be imparted to SCC by incorporation of fibres. Thus, this study presents a novel approach to predict 28-day compressive strength (C-S) of FR-SCC using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Multi Expression Programming (MEP) for fostering its widespread use in the industry. For this purpose, a dataset had been compiled from internationally published literature having six input parameters including water-to-cement ratio, silica fume, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, fibre, and superplasticizer. The predictive abilities of developed algorithms were assessed using error metrices like mean absolute error (MAE), a20-index, and objective function (OF) etc. The comparison of MEP and GEP models indicated that GEP gave a simple equation having lesser errors than MEP. The OF value of GEP was 0.029 compared to 0.031 of MEP. Thus, sensitivity analysis was performed on GEP model. The models were also checked using some external validation checks which also verified that MEP and GEP equations can be used to forecast the strength of FR-SCC for practical uses.
