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 efficiency of geopolymers as an effective immobilization system for various hazardous waste materials can be enhanced by adding PbO to improve its radiation shielding characteristics. In this study, the impact of PbO addition on the shielding properties of geopolymer composites was examined to evaluate the gamma radiation shielding characteristics of the geopolymer using FLUKA and XCOM computer programs. The results showed that adding 10% and 20% lead oxide significantly improved the shielding properties of the investigated geopolymer, mostly at lower photon energies. The higher values of MAC of 59.66728 cm
