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.

Abstract
Waterborne epoxy resin emulsified asphalt (WEA) is often used as a preventive maintenance material for asphalt pavement due to its excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature stability. However, its relatively poor toughness and low-temperature crack resistance limit its broader application. To address this issue, a PPG-IPDI-based waterborne polyurethane/epoxy resin (WER/PU) emulsion was synthesized via the prepolymer dispersion method using polypropylene glycol (PPG), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (DMPA), and epoxy resin (E-44) as the main raw materials. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed that flexible polyurethane segments were successfully grafted onto the epoxy resin. This WER/PU emulsion was then incorporated as a modifier into emulsified asphalt to prepare waterborne polyurethane/epoxy resin composite-modified emulsified asphalt (WER/PU-CMEA). A series of laboratory tests were conducted to compare the compatibility, conventional properties, mechanical performance, high temperature rheological properties, low-temperature crack resistance and aging resistance of ordinary emulsified asphalt (OEA), WEA, and WER/PU-CMEA. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to analyze the modification mechanism of WEA by WPU. The results show that WER/PU exhibits good compatibility with emulsified asphalt, and the synergistic effect of WER/PU significantly enhances the overall performance of the emulsified asphalt. Compared with WEA, WER/PU-CMEA shows a slight decrease in tensile strength and high-temperature stability, but it notably improves material compatibility, flexibility, bond strength, elongation at break, high-temperature creep-recovery performance, and low-temperature crack resistance. This study provides a promising approach for developing high-performance emulsified asphalt materials, which have strong application potential in pavement maintenance, waterproof coatings, and tack coats.
