Microstructural insights and thermal properties of a sustainable bio-based geopolymer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sugarcrete, as a sustainable building material, was derived from sugarcane bagasse, incorporating other natural minerals. This study investigated the effects of bagasse particle size, silica fume addition, and curing time on mechanical strength, thermal properties, and durability. Material characterization revealed the formation of calcium silicate hydrate and aluminosilicate phases, which enhance structural integrity. The use of finer bagasse particles and silica fume improved compressive and flexural strength, reduced water absorption, and increased fire resistance and thermal insulation, with optimal formulations achieving compressive strengths of up to 4.5 MPa and 10.49 MPa, more than 130% increase with 15% silica fume. Furthermore, it has low thermal conductivity (0.03-0.04 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹) and high thermal resistivity up to 37 K·m·W⁻¹, indicating excellent insulating properties and highlighting its potential as an eco-friendly insulating material, supporting a circular economy and sustainable construction practices. Therefore, it can serve as a promising eco-friendly material that combines sustainability with performance for modern construction.
