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 examined rubberized concrete-filled steel tubular (RuCFST) columns as a sustainable option for structural applications. Eccentric compression tests were conducted on eight groups of square specimens, with two identical specimens per group. The main parameters were slenderness ratio, load eccentricity, and rubber replacement level for fine aggregates. Full load-displacement and load-strain curves were obtained. Results indicated that rubber particles inhibit concrete cracking. Increasing slenderness ratio reduces bearing capacity, with ductility peaking at moderate slenderness. Eccentricity significantly degrades bearing capacity and stiffness. A higher rubber replacement ratio lowers capacity but optimizes particle interaction and distribution, leading to stiffness recovery at higher ratios. Filling the steel tube with core concrete transforms it into a composite member, substantially improving load-bearing performance. Comparisons with seven design standards (including GB 50936-2014, CECS 254:2012, Eurocode 4, and AISC 360-16) revealed that Eurocode 4 provided the most reliable predictions, whereas AISC was the most cautious. None of the codes accounts for the effect of rubber on core concrete behavior. These results offer useful guidance for incorporating recycled rubber particles into composite columns to promote sustainable building practices.
