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 article provides a comprehensive analysis of the acoustic properties of recycled rubber crumb, examined in two forms-loose granular and compacted specimens. The aim was to compare their acoustic properties depending on the size of the fraction, the thickness of the sample, and the degree of compaction, with measurements performed using a model BSWA SW433 impedance tube in the frequency band 100-2500 Hz. Experimental samples of recycled rubber crumb were prepared with various thicknesses (2, 4.5, and 7 cm) and of various fractions (0-4 mm), and the granular samples were compacted under a pressure of 250-750 kPa. The results showed that the highest transmission loss (TL) is achieved by fine fractions at higher pressure and with greater sample thickness; Fraction 1 (below 1 mm) at a pressure of 750 kPa and a thickness of 7 cm had the best acoustic properties. Through regression analysis, mathematical models of the dependence of transmission loss on the monitored parameters for all types of samples (granular/compacted) were created. The regression analysis confirmed that the thickness, pressure, and size of the fraction significantly affect the acoustic properties of the material. Recycled rubber crumb therefore represents an efficient and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional insulation materials, and optimizing its parameters enables a wide range of practical acoustic applications in construction, transport infrastructure, and manufacturing industries.
