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
This work focuses on the use of municipal waste incineration bottom ash (MSWI) for the development and production of products suitable for use as construction products. The generation of these ashes is increasing every year due to the incineration of municipal waste. There are currently three incineration plants operating in major cities in Lithuania. The non-hazardous bottom ash remaining from the incineration process is stored in dedicated sorting and aging sites until it is used as an inert form of aggregate for the installation of road foundations. However, it has been observed that these ashes have a tendency to bind and cement when exposed to atmospheric precipitation at the storage site. Based on this characteristic, it was decided in this study to use alkaline activation of the ash to accelerate the bonding process and to create a dense, non-porous composite concrete structure. This activation method is known to create another problem during ash bonding, where the presence of metallic aluminum particles in the ash leads to the release of hydrogen gas and makes the structure of the cured samples porous. For the purposes of the study, it was decided to create a completely different mixture structure and not to use additional water in the mixtures tested. A very low water/solids ratio (W/S) of <0.08 was used for the alkaline activation of the mixtures. All the water required for ash activation was obtained from sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solution. Metakaolin waste (MKW) was used to adjust the SiO
