Synergistic effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag and nano-silica on the consolidation, compressibility and microstructural behavior of high plasticity clay.
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
High plasticity clays are prone to excessive deformation and low load-bearing capacity, which frequently leads to structural instability in geotechnical applications. To address these challenges, sustainable and cost-effective stabilization strategies such as the incorporation of nanomaterials and industrial by-products are receiving increasing attention. This study investigates the combined effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and nano-silica (NS) on the compressibility, consolidation, and swelling behavior of high plasticity clay using Atterberg limits, standard Proctor compaction, one-dimensional consolidation, and swell tests. Microstructural changes were also investigated using SEM, EDS, and XRD, providing insights into gel-like reaction products and the evolution of soil fabric. Experimental data indicate that the combined use of GGBFS and NS leads to enhanced consolidation-related stiffness (E
