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
To address the environmental risks associated with large-scale stockpiling of red mud (RM) and coal gangue (CG) and the demand for their high-value utilization, this study proposes a ternary concrete system incorporating RM, fly ash (FA), and CG aggregate. The effects of RM content, FA content, CG aggregate replacement rate, and water-to-binder ratio on workability, mechanical properties, and frost resistance durability were systematically investigated through orthogonal experiments, with the underlying micro-mechanisms revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results indicate that workability is predominantly governed by the water-to-binder ratio, while the micro-aggregate effect of FA significantly enhances fluidity. Mechanical properties are most significantly influenced by RM content; under a 20% CG aggregate replacement rate and a 0.45 water-to-binder ratio, an optimal compressive strength was achieved with a low content combination of RM and FA. Frost resistance deteriorated markedly with increasing RM and FA content, with the high-content group approaching the failure threshold after only 25 freeze-thaw cycles, occurring 50 and 125 cycles earlier than the medium- and low-content groups, respectively. Macro-micro results indicate a synergistic threshold at 20% red mud and 45% fly ash, yielding a compressive strength of 24.96 MPa. This value exceeds the 24.87 MPa of the 10% red mud + 45% fly ash group and the 21.90 MPa of the 10% red mud + 55% fly ash group. Microstructurally, this group also exhibits superior C-S-H gel uniformity and narrower crack widths compared to the others. Excessive incorporation of red mud and fly ash leads to agglomeration of unhydrated particles and increased porosity, aligning with the observed macroscopic strength degradation. This research identifies and quantifies the synergistic threshold governing RFCTSWC performance evolution, providing theoretical support for engineering applications of solid waste concrete.
