Mechanical and Physical Properties of NaOH-Treated Rubberized Concrete Blocks.
Article in ACS omega, 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
The developments in rubberized concrete technology and its implementation in engineering could greatly facilitate the extensive recycling and proper disposal of waste tire material. The use of rubber crumb in concrete modifies its compressive strength characteristics. The main aim of the proposed study is to determine the mechanical and physical behavior of the rubberized concrete block using NaOH-treated waste tire rubber crumb as a partial replacement aggregate. There were different replacement levels of rubber crumb up to 25% with sodium hydroxide treatment and silica fume to enhance strength performance. Experimental research studies on compressive strength, density, and thermal conductivity. It is found that the higher the content of rubber, the lower will be the compressive strength, but the greater the thermal insulation and the lower the unit weight. A best combination of 15% rubber crumb with silica fume had a compressive strength of 13.91-14.52 MPa, indicating that it could be used in load-bearing masonry construction with lower density. Greater rubber contents exhibited better thermal resistance and could be used as nonstructural and insulation. The findings show that NaOH-treated rubberized concrete can be a sustainable and viable solution to tire waste recycling in construction.
