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
As the critical load-bearing structure in the management of open-pit mine goaf areas, the mechanical properties of cemented backfill material play a decisive role in strata stability. This study investigates the influence of solids mass concentration (a) and curing age (T) on the mechanical response and damage evolution of aeolian sand backfill material through uniaxial compression tests, acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experiments. The results demonstrate that both the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of the backfill increase linearly with mass concentration and exhibit an exponential enhancement with increasing curing age. At a = 80% and T = 28 d, he uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus reach the maximum values of 7.01 MPa and 0.18 GPa, respectively. The microstructure analysis reveals that higher mass concentrations promote the formation of hydration products, reduce porosity, and lead to a more compact structure. Acoustic emission signals indicate that high-a specimens accumulate more energy prior to failure, and crack propagation becomes more localized and abrupt, exhibiting typical brittle failure characteristics. Energy evolution analysis further demonstrates that, with increasing a, the elastic strain energy ratio rises from 53.25 to 67.19%, while the dissipated energy ratio declines from 46.75 to 32.81%, reflecting enhanced structural homogeneity and improved interfacial bonding within the backfill. The findings provide a theoretical foundation and experimental support for the engineering application of aeolian sand backfill materials in open-pit mining.
