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

Magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC), a type of chemically bonded phosphate ceramic (CBPC), presents a promising alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This study focuses on developing sustainable MKPC (sust-MKPC) as a thermally passive material for building applications. A low-grade magnesium oxide (LG-MgO) industrial by-product was utilized to formulate sust-MKPC, with hydrogen peroxide employed as an air-entraining agent (AEA) to induce high porosity and enhance thermal insulation while supporting sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption in climate control systems. Seven formulations incorporating varying hydrogen peroxide contents (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, and 10 wt.%) were prepared to evaluate the impact of AEA on the thermal and physicomechanical properties. Comprehensive characterization, including porosity and thermal conductivity measurements, revealed that increasing the AEA content significantly improved thermal inertia and lowered thermal conductivity due to porosity. However, this enhancement was accompanied by a marked reduction in mechanical strength and density, highlighting the trade-off between thermal performance and structural integrity in porous sust-MKPC formulations.
