Concrete double-K fracture toughness and fracture energy influenced by porosity and pore size.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The diameter and quantity of internal pores in concrete significantly influence its mechanical properties. While existing studies predominantly focus on the influence of pore quantity, this study utilizes pre-fabricated pores made from polystyrene particles (EPS) to investigate the effects of different pore diameter and porosity on the fracture mechanical properties of concrete. The results indicate that the incorporation of EPS degrades the fracture mechanical properties of concrete. The initiation load, peak load, initiation fracture toughness, instability fracture toughness, and fracture energy of concrete all decrease with increasing porosity. At constant porosity, the initiation load and initiation fracture toughness of concrete with a hole diameter of 0.3 to 0.6 mm decreased the most, with maximum reductions of 48.98% and 49.30%, respectively. The peak load, instability fracture toughness and fracture energy of concrete with a hole diameter of 3 to 5 mm decreased the most, with maximum reductions of 26.88%,38.46%,24.02%, respectively. In comparison to porosity, pore size has a more significant impact on the initiation fracture toughness of concrete. The influence of porosity on the instability fracture toughness and fracture energy of concrete is greater than that of pore size.
