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

To investigate the impact of chloride ion erosion in marine environments on the microstructure and macroscopic mechanical properties of solidified soil, this study combines fractal theory with image processing techniques to analyze the changes in cement-solidified soil (CS), steel slag powder + cement-solidified soil (SSP-CS), and activator-doped steel slag powder + cement-solidified soil (A-SSP-CS) under different ion erosion conditions. Erosion tests were conducted for 7 to 120 days using seawater, distilled water, and typical corrosive ions in seawater (Cl⁻, Mg²⁺), and the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of the specimens was measured. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and OpenCV techniques were employed to process microstructural images of the specimens, extracting and calculating the fractal dimensions. The results show a strong correlation between UCS changes and fractal dimension variations for CS, A-SSP-CS, and SSP-CS under different erosion conditions. Fractal dimensions effectively characterize the influence of microstructural changes on macroscopic performance and can predict the strength evolution of solidified soils in various erosion environments, providing a scientific basis for improving the erosion resistance of marine solidified soils.
