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

Through research that combined green environmental protection with the resource usage of solid waste, we explored more possibilities for mortar using recycled fine aggregate (RFA) as a material. In this work, natural fine aggregate (NFA) with different proportions of RFA in mortar was produced, while maintaining the same particle size distribution. Four types of mortar were produced, with replacement ratios of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, as well as a reference mortar type without RFA. A comprehensive evaluation of the mortar with different proportions was conducted, including its workability, density, capillary water absorption, compressive strength, and flexural strength. The results indicated that the compressive strength and flexural strength of mortar containing 50% RFA improve within 14 days. In addition, with increased RFA usage, the mortar's mechanical properties decreased. The data obtained from this study will help in the application of RFA in green mortar.
