Effects of specimen geometry and size on mode I and mixed mode fracture behavior of high strength fiber reinforced concrete.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
High-strength concrete (HSC) and polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete (PPFRC) as quasi-brittle materials generally experience fracture failure either in mode I (tensile mode) or in mixed mode I and II (tensile and shear), which are the most common forms of damage in structural engineering. This study investigates the fracture behavior of HSC and PPFRC under Mode I and mixed-mode loading conditions. Both numerical simulation and experimental investigation were conducted to analyze the fracture toughness and crack paths of Semi-Circular Bend (SCB) specimens. The Extended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) was employed in the numerical simulations to model crack propagation under different modes of mixtures. The experimental results showed that the crack followed a curvilinear trajectory under mixed mode loading while propagating parallel to the applied load under pure Mode I loading. The numerical simulations using X-FEM demonstrated good agreement with the experimental results.
