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 creation of eco-friendly construction materials by utilising agro-industrial by-products presents a promising approach to lowering the carbon emissions of the building industry. This research explores the engineering behaviour of geopolymer concrete formulated with sugarcane bagasse ash, rice husk ash, and cow dung ash as aluminosilicate sources, further strengthened with basalt fibres in varying amounts (0-2.5%). A wide range of experiments was performed to assess mechanical performance (compressive, flexural, and split tensile strengths) and durability characteristics (chloride ion penetration, water absorption, and resistance to acid attack) over curing periods extending to 180 days. Results exhibited a clear parabolic relationship with fibre content, identifying an optimum dosage near 1% basalt fibre. The compressive strength increased from 50 to 62 MPa (24% improvement), flexural strength from 4.4 to 5.8 MPa (32% increase), and split tensile strength from 3.7 to 4.8 MPa (30% gain) at 180 days. Durability indicators also improved at the optimum fibre dosage: water absorption decreased from 8 to 5%, acid attack-induced mass loss reduced from 38 to 6%, and RCPT values dropped from 3100 to 1600 C, shifting chloride penetrability from moderate to low. However, fibre contents above 1.5% led to reduced workability, fibre clustering, and increased permeability. ANOVA confirmed the dominance of the quadratic fibre effect, with Fibre
