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
Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modifier can enhance the resistance of asphalt mixtures to load-induced deformation and fatigue cracking by constructing a three-dimensional physical gel network. However, a rigorous mechanical characterization of this mechanism remains lacking. This study elucidates the nonlinear fatigue damage evolution of SBS-modified asphalt mixtures with physical gel structures based on residual strain response analysis. Indirect tensile fatigue tests were conducted to characterize the residual strain response of SBS-modified asphalt mixtures. A damage-informed residual strain model was established, and a relative residual strain change rate was defined to analyze the correlation between fatigue cracking and residual strain response. Furthermore, the nonlinear fatigue damage evolution of SBS-modified asphalt mixtures was investigated based on the fatigue damage theory. The results demonstrate a strong correlation between fatigue cracking and a viscoplastic strain in the SBS-modified asphalt mixtures. The proposed residual strain model accurately describes the nonlinear fatigue damage evolution and residual strain response. The relative residual strain change rate serves as a rational indicator of the material's resistance to fatigue cracking and residual strain accumulation. The SBS modifier enhances resistance to residual strain and fatigue cracking by forming a complex polymer network that establishes a three-dimensional physical gel structure.
