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
Coal gasification slag (CGS) is a solid byproduct generated during coal gasification. Stacking and land-filling of CGS wastes substantial land resources and has significant environmental risks. In this paper, based on the Ca/Si and Si/Al ratios of the raw materials, the mix design of alkali-activated CGS concrete was optimized using a pure center-of-gravity design method. The compressive and flexural strengths of geopolymer concrete with varying mix proportions were measured to investigate the effects of sodium silicate modulus, material content, and dry density on its mechanical properties. Specimens of different sizes were prepared to analyze the influence of testing methods on the compressive, flexural, and tensile properties. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete are significantly influenced by the raw material composition and the modulus of the activator. With increasing curing age, both compressive and flexural strengths exhibit varying degrees of improvement. The stress-strain behavior of alkali-activated CGS concrete aligns closely with that of ordinary concrete. A comparative analysis of 100 mm length and 20 mm length cubic specimens revealed a compressive strength size conversion coefficient of approximately 0.456, while the flexural specimen exhibited a coefficient of 0.599. For tensile strength evaluation, both the Brazilian splitting method and the double punch test method yielded consistent and reliable results, demonstrating their suitability for assessing CGS-based concrete.
