Using XRD to Assess the Strength of Fly-Ash- and Metakaolin-Based Geopolymers.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Compressive strength testing is usually the first test applied to alkali-activated materials or geopolymers after their manufacture to gauge the success of the selected formulation. If the compressive strength is found to be acceptable, then a raft of other tests can be applied to assess the suitability of the geopolymer for its anticipated application. It is proposed that a rapid X-ray diffraction (XRD) test can provide an indication of the strength of geopolymers via the measurement of the difference between the amorphous precursor peak position and the position of the amorphous peak of the geopolymer material. The proposed XRD method provides complementary data to mechanical strength testing and provides evidence that a geopolymer has formed.
