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

Cemented Coal Gangue Backfill (CCGB) plays a pivotal role in sustainable mining practices, as its uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) directly dictates backfill stability, mining safety, and operational efficiency. However, existing research has yet to fully elucidate how key mix proportion parameters synergistically influence UCS across different curing stages, leaving a critical gap in optimizing CCGB performance. This study addresses this limitation by systematically investigating the factors governing CCGB's UCS under varied mix designs. First, single-factor tests identified optimal ranges for critical variables: mass concentration (80%-81%), fly ash content (3-4 kg), and fine gangue ratio (35%-45%). Using the response surface method (RSM), we then developed quadratic polynomial regression models for 1-day and 28-day UCS, which demonstrated excellent fit with R² values of 0.9672 and 0.9575, respectively. Our results reveal that the interaction between mass concentration and fly ash content exerts a more significant impact on UCS than the fine gangue ratio alone. Additionally, microscopic analysis indicates that during hydration, pozzolanic reactions and cement hydration reactions proceed in alternation rather than isolation-a mechanism previously underexplored in literature.
