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

Supplementary cementitious materials and aeolian sand have been used to produce low-carbon ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) due to their beneficial effects on the reduction in production cost and carbon emissions. However, low-carbon UHPC still faces some drawbacks, such as lowered mechanical properties, large shrinkage, and a tendency for cracking. This study proposed an approach to improve the performance of low-carbon UHPC by incorporating recycled coarse aggregate. The effects of recycled coarse aggregate type, particle size, and content on the workability and mechanical properties of low-carbon UHPC were investigated. Moreover, the internal relative humidity and volume stability of UHPC containing recycled coarse aggregate was also explored. At last, the hydration products and microstructure of UHPC was analyzed to shed light on the underlying mechanisms for the improved performance.
