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

Waste plastic aggregate (WPA) is a promising recycled material for asphalt mixtures, but its polymeric surface can weaken binder adhesion and increase moisture-related damage, even in SBS-modified systems. Therefore, a clear need exists to identify anti-stripping agents that are compatible with WPA, rather than simply increasing WPA content in asphalt mixtures. This study evaluates the interfacial and mixture-scale performance of SBS-modified asphalt mixtures containing two WPA types, namely coarse WPA and fine WPA, treated with three liquid anti-stripping agents: amine-based agent (AS-Am), organosilane coupling-type adhesion promoter (AS-OS), and ester/surfactant-based wetting agent (AS-Es). The novelty of this study lies in selecting the anti-stripping system based on WPA-binder adhesion compatibility and validating it through moisture, rutting, rheological, and fracture performance. Binder bond strength, tensile bond strength, shear bond strength, indirect tensile strength/tensile strength ratio (ITS/TSR), Hamburg wheel tracking (HWT), multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR), and semi-circular bending (SCB) tests were conducted. AS-OS showed the best overall performance. It increased binder bond strength (BBS) by 52.8% for coarse WPA and 61.5% for fine WPA, while the optimum 0.5% dosage improved tensile bond strength by 81.0% and 97.2%, respectively. AS-OS also increased shear strength by 58.8-68.3% and improved TSR to 89.0% and 86.2%. In HWT, C-OS and F-OS reduced final rut depth by 44.0% and 45.8%, respectively. SCB results further showed higher fracture work, especially for F-OS. The findings indicate that proper anti-stripping chemistry is essential for durable WPA-SBS asphalt mixtures.
