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

Magnesium slag (MS), an important industrial solid waste generated during the magnesium production process, is recognized for its considerable potential to reduce carbon emissions and advance sustainability in the building materials industry. However, its widespread application is severely hindered by volume instability, which is primarily attributed to the delayed hydration expansion of free calcium oxide and free magnesium oxide. In this review, the physical and chemical properties of magnesium slag are systematically summarized, and the underlying mechanisms responsible for the volume instability of MS-based cementitious materials are critically elucidated. Furthermore, targeted strategies for improving volume stability are focused on and evaluated, including the acid treatment of magnesium slag for oxide passivation and the collaborative utilization with complementary solid wastes such as ground granulated blast furnace slag, steel slag, and fly ash. Through this critical synthesis, a framework is established for overcoming the soundness bottleneck, thereby repositioning magnesium slag as a viable and reliable constituent in next-generation sustainable building materials.
