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

Geopolymers have emerged as promising materials for their superior thermal and mechanical properties, offering sustainable alternatives to conventional coatings. This study investigates the potential of Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) as a raw material for fire-resistant geopolymer coatings. Through the optimization of POFA-to-alkaline activator (AA) ratios, NaOH concentrations, and curing temperatures, POFA-based coatings were synthesized and applied to mild steel substrates. Fire resistance testing revealed that the optimal formulation (0.35 POFA ratio, 8 M NaOH concentration, and curing at 65 °C) achieved a temperature at equilibrium (TAE) of 151.2 °C, significantly outperforming other compositions by reducing heat transfer during fire exposure. Thermal imaging and SEM analysis demonstrated that the optimized coating (GP-POFA8) exhibited a more uniform and stable intumescent layer, leading to lower peak temperatures (909 °C) compared to less optimized samples. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) further confirmed that GP-POFA8 retained approximately 80% of its original mass at temperatures beyond 600 °C, highlighting its superior thermal stability. These findings underscore the potential of POFA-based geopolymers as effective, eco-friendly solutions for fire-resistant applications in construction and industrial sectors, contributing to sustainable waste management.
