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 study aimed to identify the optimum pyrolysis temperature and cooling conditions for producing biochar from industrial hemp stalks to enhance asphalt binder performance, while also assessing the potential of industrial hemp stalks as a viable alternative in the pavement sector by evaluating the temperature sensitivity and the high and low temperature performance of biochar-modified binders. The asphalt binders were subjected to conventional and performance tests to assess their properties. Penetration and softening point values of neat and biochar modified binders were determined and the penetration index of binders was calculated. The temperature susceptibility, permanent deformation, aging and fatigue performances of neat and biochar modified asphalt binders were determined by the dynamic shear rheometer test. Bending beam rheometer equipment was used to determine the low temperature performance of asphalt binders. The experimental results showed that biochar obtained from industrial hemp stalk improved aging resistance, reduced the temperature susceptibility, increased high-temperature performance grade, and so developed permanent deformation resistance of the binder. The optimal production conditions for biochar, utilized in the modification of asphalt binders to achieve better rutting resistance, have been identified as a combination of a pyrolysis temperature of 300°C and rapid cooling. The low-temperature performance grade of biochar-modified asphalt binders decreased by one grade, while the high-temperature performance grade increased by at least one grade. The addition of biochar was shown to have a negative impact on the binder's low-temperature performance. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the biochar additive, derived from industrial hemp stalk, is particularly well-suited for regions characterized by hot climates.
