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

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) represents-35% of global waste and-40% of related emissions. Recycled aggregates from CDW support sustainability and circular economy strategies. This study investigates the enhancement of recycled concrete and ceramic aggregates using graphene oxide (GO) nanocoating, applied without coupling agents. The coating removes fine particles from aggregate surfaces and provides waterproofing. Ceramic particles, due to higher porosity, absorb more GO than concrete particles. Experimental results show water absorption reductions of 19% (concrete) and 25% (ceramic) aggregates. GO forms a uniform layer, decreases microporosity, preserves surface roughness, and reduces particle detachment by 17% and 25% for concrete and ceramic aggregates, respectively. SEM analysis confirms a pore-filling effect consistent with waterproof behavior. These findings demonstrate the GO nanocoating effectively improves durability and performance of recycled aggregates, offering a practical route towards sustainable construction materials.
