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

The paper presents the effect of reinforcing aerated concrete and volcanic rock on flexural strength. The tests used a three-point flexural test on beams made of both materials and two types of reinforcement: an Epidian 5 epoxy resin coating and carbon fabric impregnated with the same resin. The carbon composite increased the strength of aerated concrete by 1940% and volcanic rock by 2633% compared to unreinforced samples. The resin alone improved the load-bearing capacity of the beams by aerated concrete 118% and volcanic rock 147%, respectively. The tests showed that the resin filled the pores of the porous materials, significantly increasing their flexural strength.
