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

The growing demand for sustainable and multifunctional construction materials, particularly those capable of addressing durability and energy challenges, has motivated the development of conductive and photothermally active geopolymers. This study investigated the use of an Fe-rich spinel aggregate (FSA) as a high-density filler in geopolymers composed of ground granulated blast furnace slag and bauxite residue, with a fixed addition of 1 wt% graphite (binder-based) to enhance electrical conductivity. The effects of different FSA replacement percentages (0-100%) on compressive strength, electrical conductivity, photothermal efficiency, and chemical resistance were evaluated. An increase in the FSA content translated to an increase in the final compressive strength, with 100% FSA replacement achieving the highest value of 45.5 ± 2.5 MPa at 28 days. As the FSA content increased, the electrical resistivity decreased to as low as 42 Ω·m at 100% replacement. Under simulated solar flux conditions (1 kW/m
