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

Coarse aggregate water absorption significantly affects the durability of hydraulic concrete. We investigated concrete mixes incorporating aggregates with low (0.7%), medium (3.8%), and high (7.85%) water absorption, assessing mechanical properties, permeability, and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) microstructure via scanning electron microscopy. Increased water absorption led to reduced compressive and splitting tensile strength, decreased impermeability and frost resistance, and higher chloride ion permeability. Microstructural analysis demonstrated that high-absorption aggregates caused thickening and increased porosity of the ITZ, particularly in the region extending up to 160 μm from the aggregate surface. A strong linear correlation (R
