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

Comparative evidence on how different supplementary cementitious materials affect freeze-thaw performance and air-void system characteristics of self-compacting concrete (SCC) under consistent mixture conditions remains limited. This study provides a direct comparative assessment of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS), fly ash (FA), and limestone powder (LM) as partial cement replacements in SCC within a unified mix-design framework. SCC mixtures incorporating 15% and 30% of GGBFS, FA, or LM were evaluated for fresh properties (slump flow, V-funnel, L-box) and for mechanical performance (compressive and splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity) at 28, 56, and 90 days. Freeze-thaw performance was evaluated after 150 cycles, while the hardened air-void system was characterized using total air content (A), micro-air content (A
