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 current study presents the development and optimisation of foam glass manufactured from recycled glass shards and expanded ground perlite, targeting enhanced structural and thermal performance for sustainable building applications. By investigating various particle size fractions ("125 μm", "250 μm", "500 μm") and sintering temperatures (800-850 °C), we achieved a foam glass with superior compressive strength and uniform porosity. Notably, samples utilising a homogeneous 500 μm particle fraction sintered at 850 °C exhibited the highest compressive strength of 2.17 MPa, coupled with open porosity uniformity and stable structural matrix formation. Density values in this fraction decreased from 321 to 263 kg/m
