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 variation law and mechanism of the permeability characteristics of coal gangue ceramsite lightweight aggregate concrete (CLAC) remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, the effect of the ceramsite size and replacement ratio on the pore structure characteristics of the CLAC was analyzed by mercury pressure test. Moreover, based on a fractal approach, the relationship between permeability characteristics and pore structure of the CLAC was established. The results indicate that incorporating coal gangue ceramsite effectively decreases the maximum pore size. The fractal dimension increases as the replacement ratio of 20-30 mm and 10-20 mm ceramsite rises, whereas an opposite trend is observed when the content of 5-10 mm ceramsite increases. At moderate replacement levels, the introduction of ceramsite aggregates can reduce the fraction of detrimental pores and promote the formation of harmless and slightly harmful pores; however, at high replacement levels, the fraction of harmful and macropores may increase. Moreover, the fractal dimension is negatively correlated with the permeability grade and residual strength, but positively correlated with the strength degradation rate.
