The impact of goat hair as a natural animal fiber on properties of the lightweight cement composite.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials has prompted the exploration of natural fibers as reinforcement in cement composites. This study investigates the potential of goat hair as a natural fiber reinforcement in lightweight cement composites to enhance mechanical properties and sustainability. The research evaluates goat-hair-reinforced composites' flexural and compressive strengths at 7 and 28 days after mixing. The results show that the inclusion of goat hair at a rate of 0.4% of cement, as a reinforcing material, leads to a significant increase in flexural and compressive strength. Specifically, flexural strength increased by 2.5% and 21.8%, while compressive strength improved by 5.5% and 21.5% at water-to-cement ratios of 0.4 and 0.5, respectively, compared to the control mixture. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of goat hair in improving mechanical performance while reducing the environmental footprint of construction materials. This study highlights the need for further exploration of natural fibers in sustainable construction practices, focusing on optimizing mechanical performance and eco-friendly materials for broader applications.
