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

Due to the shortage of construction aggregates, carbonate rock aggregates-including mainly limestone aggregates-have long been used in structural concrete in many countries worldwide. On the other hand, earlier tests on the shear fracture toughness of concretes with limestone aggregates were very limited and were even abandoned for many years. For the above reasons, in this paper, completely new fracture toughness tests were performed according to the mode II fracture for limestone concretes with different grain size distributions. Two types of aggregate grain were used, i.e., two with maximum grain sizes of 8 mm (M1 series concrete) and 16 mm (M2 series concrete). During the experiments, the critical stress-intensity factor (
