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

To improve the effect of bio-cemented loess, taking into account the characteristics of phosphogypsum and the biochemical principle of enzyme-induced calcium precipitation (EICP), a series of mechanical and microscopic tests are designed and carried out to systematically analyze the enhancement effect of phosphogypsum enhanced EICP solidified loess and the enhancement mechanism. Concentrations of urea and calcium chloride as variables, and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) as an indicator to determine the optimal solution ratio of EICP. Subsequently, different phosphogypsum incorporation ratios were considered to determine the optimal mix proportion for EICP-phosphogypsum co-stabilized loess.The results showed that the addition of phosphogypsum can effectively improve the UCS, water stability, shear strength, and compression characteristics of EICP solidified loess. The phosphogypsum-EICP method has a better effect on improving the strength and water stability of loess with the content of phosphogypsum at 1.0%, compared with the loess treated by EICP, the strength of the specimen with 1.0% phosphogypsum content increased by 19.7%. The microstructure of the solidified loess specimens indicates that the calcium carbonate crystals generated by EICP fill the pores in the loess, thereby reducing its porosity. In addition, phosphogypsum reacts with water to produce hydration, resulting in stronger cementation between calcium carbonate and soil particles.
