Fracture Properties of High-Elasticity Asphalt Concrete Reinforced with Rubber Particles and Polyester Fibers.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Semi-circular bending tests were conducted on high-elasticity asphalt concrete under different aging conditions to investigate the effects of rubber particles and polyester fiber contents on its fracture properties. Results showed that the incorporation of approximately 3% rubber particles increased the fracture energy by 15%, whereas the addition of 1.2% polyester fibers increased the fracture toughness and fracture energy by 4% and 19%, respectively. Aging-induced oxidative hardening enhanced the overall elastic modulus and interfacial constraint effect of the asphalt mixture, thereby improving the stress transfer efficiency among the rubber particles, polyester fibers, and the surrounding matrix. As a result, both the peak load and fracture toughness increased. However, compared with the unaged state, aged asphalt concrete became more susceptible to brittle fracture, with a decrease in fracture energy and a change in the crack propagation path from a curved to a straight trajectory.
