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

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is recognized for its exceptional strength and durability. However, the adoption of UHPC frequently leads to higher material and environmental costs. Accurate prediction of compressive strength is crucial for optimizing material design and reducing construction costs. In this study, a dataset of 800 samples was compiled from published articles. Four models, including random forest (RF), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), Gradient Boosting (GB) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), were applied. Results show that ANN and GPR achieved the best accuracy and stability. GB also performed well with good adaptability. RF captured general trends but produced larger errors in the high-strength range. Feature importance analysis highlighted curing age and cement content as the most influential factors, with a combined contribution above 65%. The water-to-binder ratio also affected strength through matrix densification. Extended evaluation with regression error characteristic (REC) curves and environmental impact index (EII) revealed the balance between performance and environmental impact. Higher compressive strength often required higher energy, CO
