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

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have demonstrated potential in enhancing the elasticity and viscoelasticity of cementitious materials, yet the mechanisms underlying their influence on hydrates remain unclear. This study employs experimental techniques and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the impact of CNTs on alite hydration, spanning initial stages to the hardened state. Results show that CNTs exhibit a weak nucleation effect, which is thus not the primary factor contributing to the enhancement of mechanical properties. Instead, improvements stem from refining the calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel structure and optimizing the spatial distribution of calcium hydroxide (CH) throughout hydration. The CNT-mediated modulation of Ca
