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
The large-scale and high-value utilization of industrial solid waste has become a key research area in sustainable building materials. However, ensuring effective backfilling quality in narrow or irregular spaces remains challenging in civil engineering. Developing flowable solidification materials from industrial solid waste not only resolves issues inherent in traditional backfilling techniques but also enhances efficient resource utilization. In this study, phosphogypsum was used to prepare geopolymers, which served as binders replacing cement in producing phosphogypsum-based fluidized solidified soil (PFSS). The workability, mechanical strength, and toxic substance leaching of PFSS were evaluated. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms of strength formation and toxic substance immobilization were investigated. The optimal PFSS composition was determined to have a water-to-solid ratio of 0.48-0.50 and a geopolymer content of 12-18% (by mass). Under these conditions, the material exhibited fluidity ranging from 160 to 220 mm, a 28-day compressive strength of 0.86 MPa, a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of 8%, and a resilient modulus of 40 MPa. These parameters satisfy the performance standards required for backfilling in high-grade highways. The leaching concentrations of heavy metals (As, Pb, and Cr) complied with China's Class III groundwater quality standards. Microstructural analyses indicated the occurrence of hydration, pozzolanic reactions, geopolymerization, and carbonation. Microstructural analyses indicated the formation of an interlocking three-dimensional network, composed of C-S-H, C-A-S-H gels, and ettringite (AFt), which contributes significantly to the strength development and immobilization of heavy metals. These products collectively formed an interlocking three-dimensional network structure, significantly contributing to PFSS strength development. Heavy metals were effectively immobilized within the matrix due to the combined effects of physical adsorption and chemical bonding.
