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

Developing longer-lifespan concrete with minimized surface cracking is crucial for sustainable construction. This study investigates self-healing rubberized concrete incorporating 15% recycled rubber waste as a sand replacement. To enhance strength and flexibility through crack closure, bacteria Sporosarcina Pasteurii and Rhizobium Leguminosarum were introduced at 20% of the water volume. Slump, compressive and flexural strength, SEM, and EDX were the tests performed to identify the effects of bacteria and rubber on the concrete characteristics. The results illustrated that the use of rubber as a partial replacement for sand significantly reduced concrete workability and mechanical performance, with slump, compressive strength, and flexural strength decreasing by up to 77%, 49%, and 47%, respectively. However, incorporating SpP and RL bacteria, particularly at concentrations of 10
