Mix proportion optimization of red mud manufactured sand foam concrete and its sulfate resistance.
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
This study optimized the mix proportion of red mud manufactured sand foam concrete (RMMSFC) using orthogonal tests and evaluated its sulfate resistance. Results showed that the sand-cement ratio most significantly influenced dry density and porosity, while foam content predominantly governed strength. Through range analysis, variance analysis, and comprehensive scoring, the optimal mix was determined as water-cement ratio 0.27, red mud content 30%, sand-cement ratio 0.9, and foam content 8%, achieving a 28-day compressive strength of 18.79 MPa and dry density of 1724.50 kg/m³. Microstructural analysis indicated that active components in red mud participated in secondary hydration, producing C-S-H gel and ettringite, thereby refining pore structure. Sulfate resistance tests revealed that specimens with ≤ 30% red mud retained good integrity after 50 wet-dry cycles. When the content of red mud is over 30%, the comprehensive performance decreases significantly due to the accelerated decomposition of hydration products and the expansion and accumulation of erosion products in the high alkali environment.
