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

Currently, microscopic research on the tensile fracture properties of recycled brick coarse aggregate concrete has mainly adopted microscopy techniques, which can clearly observe the actual damage situations of each phase material but are unable to individually analyze the effect of a specific material factor on the tensile properties of recycled concrete. This brings much uncertainty to the practical application of recycled concrete. Therefore, this study proposes a cohesive zone model (CZM) for simulating the tensile fracture of recycled brick coarse aggregate (RBCA) concrete. To this end, the study explores the effects of various critical factors on the fracture mode and bearing capacity of recycled brick aggregate concrete, including the replacement rate of recycled brick coarse aggregate, pore structure, interfacial transition zone (ITZ) strength, mortar strength, and volume fraction of brick aggregate. The results indicate that, when the minor to major axis ratio of elliptical pores is 0.5 ≤ K < 1, the following order of influence can be observed: random convex polygonal pores, circular pores, and elliptical pores. Moreover, excessively strengthening the ITZ and mortar does not significantly enhance the tensile performance of RBCA concrete. The distribution location of aggregate has a significant impact on the crack shape of recycled concrete, as does the pore structure, due to their randomness. Therefore, this article also discusses these. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the tensile properties of recycled brick coarse aggregate and provide insights into optimizing its behavior.
