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

Conventional micro-surfacing materials often delaminate, crack, or peel. These defects shorten pavement life. High-performance polymer-modified mixtures are essential for rapid pavement maintenance. We added waterborne epoxy resin (WER) at different dosages to styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) to create a composite-modified micro-surfacing mixture. A series of laboratory comparative tests were conducted to investigate the effect of WER content on the overall performance of the WER-SBR micro-surfacing mixture. In addition, the microstructure of the mixtures was observed to analyze the mechanism by which the composite-modified emulsified asphalt enhances material performance, and the optimal WER dosage was determined. The results showed that higher WER content improved abrasion and rutting resistance but gains plateaued above 6% WER. Below 9% WER, mixtures showed good water stability; at 3-6% WER, they also maintained skid and low-temperature crack resistance. Notably, when the WER content was approximately 6%, the WER-SBR micro-surfacing mixture showed significantly reduced abrasion damage after exposure to freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and salt spray conditions. SEM images confirmed that 6% WER creates a uniform asphalt film over aggregates, boosting mixture performance. Therefore, we recommend 6% WER. This study has developed a WER-SBR composite-modified emulsified asphalt micro-surfacing product with excellent overall performance. It holds significant practical value for extending pavement service life and improving road service quality.
