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 examines the utilisation of fly ash from the energy sector as a secondary raw material in cement composites, with the aim of improving sustainability while maintaining high mechanical performance. By partially replacing Portland cement with industrial by-products, the proposed approach supports resource efficiency and aligns cement composite production with circular economy principles. Three formulations were tested: a reference mix and mixes with 25% and 50% cement reduction. Compressive strength reached 41 MPa, confirming suitability for construction use. Chemical and textural properties were analysed using XRD, FTIR, TGA, and nitrogen adsorption (BET, BJH). The results showed structural modifications, including new crystalline phases and changes in porosity. XRD confirmed newly formed phases, while FTIR identified Si-O-Si and Al-O-Si bonds, indicating effective activation of fly ash. Reducing cement content increased surface area and mesoporosity, enhancing performance. The findings demonstrate that fly ash can serve as a sustainable substitute for Portland cement within a circular economy framework, supporting CO
