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

To investigate the adhesion properties of asphalt binder-aggregate interfaces, contact angle tests were performed on base, aged, and SBS# asphalt with limestone and basalt aggregates. A molecular dynamics simulation model was established to analyze interfacial adhesion characteristics. The results indicate good consistency between the experimental and molecular dynamics simulation findings. SBS# asphalt exhibited superior surface free energy and adhesion properties compared with base asphalt, whereas aging reduced the adhesion performance. The interfacial energy between the asphalt and aggregates is closely related to their molecular compositions. When moisture penetrates the asphalt mixture, the interfacial energy between limestone and asphalt significantly increases, compared with that of basalt, with SBS# asphalt exhibiting stronger adhesion than base asphalt. The modifier enhanced the adhesion between the asphalt and aggregates, thereby providing resistance to moisture damage. The findings of this study possess referential value for the selection, modification, and performance optimization of asphalt pavement materials.
