Sustainable development of concrete through treated and untreated plastic waste aggregates.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
This study focused on sustainable and novel development of concrete through treated and untreated plastic waste aggregates. In this study, the surface of Elec-waste coarse aggregates was treated with sulfuric acid, marble dust coating, silica fume coating, and alkaline bleach. Elec-waste aggregates were used in concrete by replacing natural coarse aggregates in amounts of 10%, 20%, and 30%. The 10%, 20%, and 30% Elec-waste replacement ratios resulted in the compressive strength reduction of 8.97%, 27.99%, and 42.01%, respectively. The same percentage of Elec-waste aggregates reduced the splitting tensile strength by 21.77%, 35.89%, and 47.89%, respectively. However, the slump was observed to increase by 41.4%, 52.1%, and 68.8%, respectively. All the considered treatments enhanced the performance of Elec-waste aggregate concrete (E-WAC). Overall, the best improvement in the performance of E-WAC was imparted by silica fume coating, irrespective of the quantity of Elec-waste aggregates. The present study proposed an expression to estimate the reduction of the compressive strength of E-WAC. It was demonstrated that the equation by JCI-08 predicted splitting tensile strength of E-WAC close to experimental results.
