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

To achieve the valorization of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash and investigate its engineering feasibility as an aggregate replacement in asphalt mixtures, this research adopted MSWI bottom ash in three particle size fractions (2.36-9.5 mm, 9.5-16 mm and 2.36-4.75 mm) to replace basalt aggregate in SBS-modified AC-20 asphalt mixtures. Five dosages of MSWI bottom ash (0%, 7.5%, 15%, 22.5% and 30%) were designed, and high-temperature stability, low-temperature cracking resistance, moisture stability, dynamic modulus and fatigue resistance were tested. The results indicate that the incorporation of MSWI bottom ash causes different degrees of performance degradation. At a dosage of 30%, the dynamic stability of Groups I, II and III decreased by 37.5%, 49.3% and 27.5%, respectively, while the fatigue lives decreased by 48.1%, 60.3% and 31.3%, respectively. The failure strain of Group III at 30% was 2007 microstrain, still slightly higher than the specification limit, whereas Groups I and II dropped to 1825 microstrain and 1575 microstrain. The freeze-thaw splitting tensile strength ratios of Groups I and III at 30% were 81.6% and 84.1%, both meeting the 80% requirement, while Group II decreased to 78.7%. Overall, the 2.36-4.75 mm fraction produced the smallest deterioration, followed by the 2.36-9.5 mm fraction, whereas the 9.5-16 mm fraction showed the most significant reduction. Considering both pavement performance and resource utilization efficiency, MSWI bottom ash is recommended to replace basalt aggregate at dosages not exceeding 30% for the 2.36-4.75 mm fraction and 22.5% for the 2.36-9.5 mm fraction. In addition, the asphalt-aggregate ratio should be adjusted with the slag dosage to compensate for the high absorption of MSWI bottom ash.
