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

This article presents an original experimental and numerical approach to examining the pull-out behavior of fastening systems made of steel bars simultaneously embedded in both ends of concrete samples. This double-embedded configuration simulates a connection between the existing concrete structure and a new external exoskeleton, promoting seismic strengthening. Pull-out tests were performed across six specimen configurations combining different concrete strength classes in order to compare the adhesive solution against traditional monolithic cast-in rebar embedments. The adhesive-anchored bars achieved a peak pull-out force of ~28.6 kN, which is about 18% higher than with mixed anchorage (one end adhesive, one end cast-in). All specimens failed in concrete cracking and pull-out cone formation, with no steel bar yielding, indicating that failure was governed by concrete strength. Finite element simulations in ANSYS Explicit Dynamics were validated against these experiments, confirming the observed behavior and enabling the extension of our analysis to broader concrete strength ranges. Overall, the results demonstrate that double-ended adhesive anchorage significantly increases the connection's load-bearing capacity and ductility compared to mixed configurations.
