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 study investigates the macroscopic properties of ecological building materials prepared from recycled industrial waste through comprehensive analysis of chemical microscopic phase composition and interface interaction mechanisms. Three primary industrial wastes (fly ash, blast furnace slag, and steel slag) were systematically incorporated as cement replacements at various proportions. Advanced characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and mercury intrusion porosimetry were employed to establish quantitative relationships between microstructural parameters and macroscopic performance. Results demonstrate that optimized waste incorporation achieves superior mechanical properties, with the optimal combination containing 15% fly ash, 7.5% steel slag, and 22.5% blast furnace slag exhibiting 52.3 MPa compressive strength, representing 16.2% improvement over reference cement. Quantitative phase analysis revealed enhanced C-S-H gel formation (58.2% vs. 54.3%) through pozzolanic reactions, while interfacial transition zone characteristics significantly influenced overall performance. The developed structure-property relationship models achieved correlation coefficients exceeding 0.92 for strength prediction, enabling rational material design optimization. This research provides scientific foundations for waste-derived building material development while contributing to circular economy implementation and environmental sustainability in construction industry.
