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 study developed a vinyl acetate-ethylene rapid repair mortar (VAE-RRM) by using a binary blended cementitious system (ordinary Portland cement and sulfoaluminate cement) and vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) redispersible polymer powder. The effects of the polymer-to-cement ratio (P/C: 0~2.0%) on setting time, mechanical properties, interfacial bonding, and microstructure were systematically investigated. The results reveal that VAE delayed cement hydration via physical encapsulation and chemical chelation, extending the initial setting time to 182 min at P/C = 2.0%. At the optimal P/C = 0.9%, a synergistic organic-inorganic network enhanced flexural strength (14.62 MPa at 28 d, 34.0% increase) and interfacial bonding (2.74 MPa after interface treatment), though compressive strength decreased to 65.7 MPa due to hydration inhibition. Excessive VAE (P/C ≥ 1.5%) suppressed AFt/C-S-H growth, increasing harmful pores (>1 μm) and degrading performance. Microstructural analysis via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) demonstrates that VAE films bridged hydration products, filled interfacial transition zones (ITZ), and refined pore structures, reducing the most probable pore size from 62.8 nm (reference) to 23.5 nm. VAE-RRM 3 (P/C = 0.9%) exhibited rapid hardening (initial setting time: 75 min), high substrate recovery (83.3%), and low porosity (<10%), offering an efficient solution for urban infrastructure repair. This work elucidates the dual mechanisms of pore refinement and interface reinforcement driven by VAE, providing theoretical guidance for designing high-performance repair materials.
