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.
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
In response to escalating environmental concerns, the construction industry is under growing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. As a major consumer of natural resources and a significant emitter of greenhouse gases, it paradoxically holds the potential to become a leader in green transformation. This study investigates the development of innovative, fire-resistant, and alkali-activated hybrid binder foams incorporating recycled materials: fly ash, coal slag, and ground brick waste, as sustainable alternatives to traditional building materials. The fire resistance performance at a technical scale and the thermal behavior of fiber-reinforced, alkali-activated hybrid binder foams synthesized from recycled aluminosilicate precursors were determined. The properties of unreinforced composite were compared with the composites reinforced with merino wool, basalt fibers, polypropylene fibers, and coconut fiber. Small-scale fire-resistance tests revealed that merino wool-reinforced composites exhibited the best thermal insulation performance, maintaining structural integrity, that is, retaining shape and continuity without delamination or collapse for 83 min under fire exposure. Analyses combining chemical characterization (X-ray fluorescence) with microstructural methods (computed tomography and colorimetry) confirmed that fire performance is strongly influenced not only by fiber type but also by pore distribution, phase composition, and oxide migration under thermal loading. These findings demonstrate the potential of fiber-reinforced foamed, alkali-activated hybrid binder as eco-efficient, printable materials for fire-safe and thermally demanding construction applications.
