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

This study presents an advancement in “Self-cured geopolymer” technology, aiming to enable ambient-temperature curing. The experimental work systematically investigated two primary strategies: the incorporation of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) as an additive and the modification of manufacturing processes. The results demonstrate that the supplementary calcium from OPC enhances the geopolymer’s curing regime, yielding superior early-age strength and mechanical properties. Notably, the latent heat released from the reactions of high-energy compounds (e.g., OPC and activators) was found to be a significant internal heat source, functionally comparable to external heat curing. The synergy of these approaches establishes a feasible pathway for developing “Self-cured geopolymer cement” that achieves substantial mechanical strength under ambient conditions. The developed Self-cured geopolymer techniques, there are potentials that could increase the commercial viability of geopolymers as a construction material in construction industry by eliminating heating process and preparation of alkaline liquids as well as it could make a solid contribution to the field of low-carbon binder development. Potential application of Geopolymer cement powder as conventional OPC by just adding water. The results of the current work showed that the strength values reached abobit 45 MPa for 20% replacement (optimum dose) after 28 days of curing, while for one-part geopolymer mix reached to 48 MPa for 40% replacement (optimum dose) after 28 days curing,
