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
Great efforts have been made in recent years by the scientific community and the asphalt industry in developing sustainable technologies for the production of asphalt mixtures for road paving applications, pursuing the use of ever higher quantities of recycled materials. In this regard, the challenge is to define the optimal formulation of the mixture which allows the various component materials to be synergistically combined without compromising the performance and durability of the asphalt pavement. In such a context, the experimental study described in this paper aimed to provide a contribution to research by investigating sustainable asphalt mixtures containing 50% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and polymeric compound composed of 100% recycled plastics. A wide set of mixtures was prepared in a laboratory by employing different dosages of polymeric compound added via the hybrid method at various binder contents. For comparison purposes, an additional set of reference asphalt mixtures containing standard polymer-modified binder (PmB) and virgin aggregate without RAP was prepared and tested. The experimentation focused on the main engineering properties of the asphalt mixtures, including their workability, volumetric properties, and mechanical characteristics. The experimental study involved a preliminary trial phase to establish an appropriate laboratory mixing procedure. The results obtained from the experimentation indicated that recycled waste plastics have good potential for use in asphalt mixtures with high contents of RAP, provided that the quantity of added plastics is adequately balanced.
