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

The high environmental impact associated with ordinary Portland cement production has driven increasing interest in alternative low-carbon binder systems based on alkali-activated materials. In this context, geopolymers synthesized from metakaolin and supplemented with natural or industrial by-products represent a promising route toward more sustainable construction materials. In this study, the partial substitution of metakaolin (MK) with stainless steel slag (SSS, calcium rich) or volcanic ash (VA, silica-rich) in alkali-activated cements (AACs) synthesis was investigated by analyzing their physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The structural evolution associated with alkali activation was assessed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and
