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

This research investigates whether metakaolin can be used as a partial substitution for slag to mitigate significant volume changes in alkali-activated slags. Its effect on compressive strength and workability (as well as on isothermal calorimetry, autogenous strain, and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE)) were found to depend on both the type and concentration of the alkaline activator. When using 8 M and 10 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH), increasing the substitution rate increased the compressive strength. With sodium silicate (Na
