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

Disposing of waste tyres in landfills poses significant environmental hazards, making recycling a crucial alternative. Rubberised concrete has been found to exhibit lower density and better thermal insulation performance than conventional concrete. In order to maximise the potential of thermal insulation of rubberised concrete, this study investigates the mechanical and thermal properties of foamed rubberised polypropylene fibre concrete (FRPFC). FRPFC was produced using a mix of crumb rubber (CR) granules, polypropylene fibres, and foam, targeting a density of 800 kg/m
