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

The distribution of temperature-induced cracks in mass concrete structures is extensive and random, making it difficult for existing detection methods to accurately identify the specific location and initiation time of cracking. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent, precise, and efficient monitoring approach capable of acquiring real-time information on the evolution of the internal temperature field in concrete structures during their early-age curing process. A novel temperature-sensitive concrete system was developed by synchronously integrating distributed optical fibers with three-dimensional printed concrete (3DPC) to enable both temperature monitoring and signal transmission. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, experimental testing and numerical simulations were conducted on cubic 3D-printed fiber-reinforced concrete to analyze the temporal evolution of their internal temperature fields. The results show that, during the system calibration process, the temperature measured by the distributed temperature sensing (DTS) system was highly consistent with the environmental temperature curve, with fluctuations controlled within ±1 °C. In addition, the numerical simulation results closely aligned with the experimental data, with discrepancies maintained within 5%, demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing 3D printing technology to impart temperature sensitivity to concrete materials. This integrated approach offers a promising pathway for advancing smart concrete technology, providing an effective solution for accurate sensing and control of internal temperatures in concrete structures. It holds substantial potential for practical applications in civil engineering projects.
