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

Managing plastic waste is a great challenge for today's society, and it is increasingly necessary to find solutions to the large amount of plastic waste dumped annually in the oceans. The main objective of this research is to perform a comprehensive characterisation of different gypsum-based materials incorporating recycled PP/HDPE pellets from the recycling of discarded fishing nets in the Mediterranean Sea. For this purpose, composites were developed with a partial substitution of the original material by these pellets, up to 30% by volume, while maintaining a water/gypsum ratio of 0.65 by mass. The results showed that even in the most unfavourable case, with a 30% replacement in volume by these recycled pellets, flexural (2.72 MPa) and compressive (7.15 MPa) strengths higher than those required by the standards were obtained, with good integration of the residue in the matrix. Also, there was a decrease in total water absorption of up to 20.5% compared to traditional gypsum. The thermal behaviour study showed that a minimum conductivity value of 292.3 mW/m K was obtained, implying a decrease of 14.9% from the control series. In addition, a life cycle analysis was conducted, obtaining a reduction in environmental impact of up to 13.1% in terms of CO
