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

With the increasing rate of urbanization and the annual rise in municipal domestic waste, the use of harmless municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (HMSWIFA) as a construction material has been gradually adopted and promoted. However, significant differences exist in how various characteristics of HMSWIFA affect the performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RCA). To analyze the effects of HMSWIFA content and particle size on the macroscopic properties and microstructure of RCA, this paper conducts compressive, flexural, frost resistance, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) characterization on RCA with varying dosages and particle sizes of HMSWIFA as a cement replacement. The results indicate that HMSWIFA enhances the compressive strength (CS) and frost resistance of RCA. Experimental data reveal that HMSWIFA with a particle size of 600-900 μm exhibits the best modification effect at an admixture level of 10-15%: the 28-day CS increased by 1.90-3.60%, the mass loss after freezing and thawing decreased by 0.37-0.45%, and the increase in dynamic elastic modulus reached 16.09-16.44%. Notably, the flexural strength (FS) experienced a reduction of 1.81% at a high dosage of the optimal particle size. This study elucidates the coupling relationship of "particle size-admixture-performance" in HMSWIFA-modified recycled concrete, demonstrating that reasonable control of the particle size distribution of HMSWIFA can achieve a synergistic effect of mechanical enhancement and durability improvement. The research findings provide a valuable reference for the application of municipal waste incineration HMSWIFA in RCA, facilitating the recycling of waste resources to mitigate pollution and enhance energy efficiency.
