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

Concrete is the most widely used and highest-volume basic material in the word today. Enhancing its toughness, including tensile strength and deformation resistance, can boost the structural load-bearing capacity, minimize cracking, and decrease the amount of concrete and steel required in engineering projects. These advancements are crucial for the safety, durability, energy efficiency, and emission reduction of structural engineering. This paper systematically summarized the brittle characteristics of concrete and the various structural factors influencing its performance at multiple scales, including molecular, nano-micro, and meso-macro levels. It outlines the principles and impacts of concrete toughening and crack prevention from both internal and external perspectives, and discusses recent advancements and engineering applications of toughened concrete. In situ polymerization and fiber reinforcement are currently practical and highly efficient methods for enhancing concrete toughness. These techniques can boost the matrix's flexural strength by 30% and double its fracture energy, achieving an ultimate tensile strength of up to 20 MPa and a tensile strain exceeding 0.6%. In the future, achieving breakthroughs in concrete toughening will probably rely heavily on the seamless integration and effective synergy of multi-scale toughening methods.
