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

Nanostructural optimization is key to enhancing the performance of low-carbon cements. Supersulfated cement (SSC) is an eco-friendly, low-carbon cement primarily composed of blast furnace slag and calcium sulfate. This study investigates the effects of two types of crystalline anhydrite on the hydration degree and strength of SSC. The experiment used III CaSO4 (high solubility) and II-U CaSO4 (low solubility) as sulfate activators, evaluating the mechanical properties of anhydrite produced at different calcination temperatures through an analysis of pore structure, phase composition, reaction degree of mineral powder, and hydration heat. The results indicate that II-U anhydrite enhances slag hydration, reduces pore size, and significantly improves the compressive strength of SSC. This improvement is attributed to its impact on slag hydration: it reduces gypsum consumption rate, delays ettringite formation, promotes gel product formation, decreases the volume ratio of ettringite to calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel, fills pores, and decreases porosity. This study reveals the influence of calcined dihydrate gypsum phase changes on the macroscopic properties of SSC and the microstructure of hydration, elucidating the hydration mechanism of anhydrite-based SSC. This work provides a nanomaterial-based strategy for SSC design via crystal phase engineering.
