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

The optimization of metakaolin (MK) in pre-cured geopolymer concrete involves developing predictive models to capture the interplay of various influencing factors and guide mix design for improved compressive strength and sustainability. Ensemble methods and symbolic regression are promising approaches for this task due to their complementary strengths and solving challenges associated with repeated experiments in the laboratory. Choosing machine learning predictions over repeated, expensive, and time-consuming experiments in research projects, such as optimizing the utilization of metakaolin in pre-cured geopolymer concrete, presents a paradigm shift in how data-driven insights can revolutionize material development. The integration of ensemble and symbolic regression models enables researchers to derive valuable predictions and optimize critical performance parameters efficiently. In this research work, 235 records were collected from extensive literature search for compressive strength for different mixing ratios of pre-cured metakaolin-based geopolymer concrete with concrete at different ages. Each record contains MK: The content of metakaolin (kg/m
