Difficulties in Determining the Pozzolanic Activity of Thermally Activated Lower-Grade Clays.

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
Thermally activated clays (TACs) have been identified as possible supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). To find a suitable clay and to optimise the activation process, it is necessary to determine its pozzolanic activity. However, the nature of clays is different from that of conventional SCMs. Therefore, the results of commonly used methods may differ; in some cases, they can even be misrepresented and misleading. This article aims to assess their applicability to TAC. Four direct and four indirect methods were compared by determination of the pozzolanic activity of three different clays calcined at varying temperatures. The isothermal calorimetry with lime combined with the mechanical strength's development was identified as an ideal combination. Contrarily, the lime saturation test was inapplicable. For the Frattini method, it was found to be beneficial to assess the change in activity due to the thermal treatment rather than the strict comparison with a calcium hydroxide saturation curve.
