The effect of steel waste addition as a cement replacement on the mechanical and radiation shielding properties of sustainable concrete.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Replacing cement with steel additives (waste materials or steel ore (iron oxide)) contributes to the sustainable production of concrete, improving its mechanical and radiation-shielding properties. Consequently, an experimental investigation was undertaken to examine the effects of using waste steel additives - such as brake lining, rolling mill scales, iron filings, and steel ore (hematite) - on the properties of sustainable concrete containing slag as a coarse aggregate. The effect of varying ratios of steel additives on the physical, mechanical, and gamma radiation shielding properties of sustainable concrete was examined. Gamma-attenuation measurements were taken with these mixtures at three gamma energies: 0.66, 1.17, and 1.33 MeV. The experimental results showed that using brake lining, rolling mill scales, iron filling, and hematite improved the physical, mechanical, and radiation properties of concrete. SEM analysis indicates microstructural improvement with waste steel. It was observed that the linear attenuation coefficient lies between 0.0923 cm
