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

To address poor seismic performance, large residual displacement, and insufficient self-centering capacity of prefabricated frame joints in building industrialization, this study proposes a novel self-centering prefabricated frame joint reinforced with shape memory alloy fiber (SMAF)-engineered cementitious composite (ECC) composites (SMAF-ECC). A validated finite element model of the proposed joint was established using ABAQUS, with comparative analyses conducted against conventional reinforced concrete (RC) and ECC-strengthened (RC-E) joint models to explore the effect of SMAF volume content on seismic performance. Results show that replacing the joint core zone concrete with SMAF-ECC significantly enhances the joint's seismic and self-centering capabilities, reducing residual displacement and optimizing hysteretic behavior. SMAF volume content is a key factor affecting performance, with an optimal value identified and excessive content leading to fiber agglomeration and degraded self-centering ability. This study provides a feasible solution to improve the seismic resilience of prefabricated frame joints, laying a foundation for the application of SMAF-ECC in prefabricated structures.
