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

Conventional rubber-modified asphalt typically suffers from low rubber content and requires high construction temperatures. This study developed a warm-mix high-content crumb-rubber-modified asphalt (CRMA) with an increased rubber particle content of over 20%; moreover, the optimization of the warm-mixing agent was determined. Its rutting and cracking resistance performances were investigated using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and a bending beam rheometer (BBR). Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the aging resistance and microstructural characteristics. The key findings revealed that the optimal dosage of the SDYK-type warm-mix additive (SDYK; a surfactant used to improve the high-temperature stability, low-temperature crack resistance, and anti-aging performance of asphalt) was 0.6% for high-rubber-content CRMA. The combination of warm-mix additives and rubber granules enhanced the aging resistance and elasticity of the asphalt while also contributing to an increase in chemical functional group indicators. The decrease in both the aliphatic chain index and branched alkane index of CRMA indicates that the warm-mix agent and the rubber additive enhanced the aging resistance of the asphalt. The warm-mix agent reduced the roughness of the asphalt, counteracting the roughness-enhancing effect of crumb rubber. This was attributed to the lubrication effect induced by the water film during the mixing process, which promotes a more uniform distribution of the rubber crumb network. This research established a theoretical and experimental basis for the application of high-rubber-content CRMA in large-temperature-difference regions.
