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 introduces basalt powder as a novel supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to address the growing scarcity of conventional ones such as silica fume, slag, and fly ash. The research explores the potential of basalt to produce environmentally friendly blended cement with satisfactory mechanical and functional performance. Cement was partially replaced with 10, 20, and 30 wt% basalt to evaluate its influence on fresh properties (workability and setting time), as well as compressive-strength. To assess its suitability for precast applications, basalt-blended cement specimens were subjected to hydrothermal curing at 140, 170, and 200 °C for 3 h, and their compressive-strengths were compared to those obtained under normal curing conditions. Microstructural and phase analyses were conducted using XRD, TGA/DTGA, SEM/EDX, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption techniques. Furthermore, the study investigates the radiation shielding capability of basalt-blended cement against gamma-rays emitted from
