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

The global movement towards sustainable concrete is accelerating the adoption of low-carbon cement within the construction sector. Many engineering properties of low-carbon cement-based materials (CBMs) containing supplementary cementitious materials have been extensively studied and are well understood, but information regarding colour properties is limited. In this study, a colour analysis was conducted on cement paste incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as replacement material for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and white Portland cement (WPC). The replacement levels were set at 0%, 30%, 50% and 70% by OPC or WPC volume. Results from CIEDE2000 colour difference formula (∆E
