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 address the problems of high moisture content, fine particle size, and limited conventional reutilization of stainless steel slag mud (SSSM), controlled low-strength material (CLSM) was prepared using SSSM as the primary solid component and cement together with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as cementitious materials. The effects of GGBS replacing cement and SSSM, respectively, on the properties of CLSM and their variation patterns were investigated. Its solidification mechanism was analyzed through simulated control tests, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric-differential thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTG), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that, when GGBS replaces cement, the water-to-solid ratio and bleeding rate increase, while the compressive strength at all curing ages decreases overall; however, the 28 d strength still meets the requirement for CLSM. When GGBS replaces SSSM, the water-to-solid ratio and bleeding rate increase with GGBS fraction, and the compressive strength at all curing ages increases overall. At a GGBS fraction of 18%, the water-to-solid ratio reaches 0.363, the bleeding rate reaches 5%, and the 28 d and 60 d compressive strengths reach 7.3 and 11.2 MPa, respectively, representing increases of 23.3 and 21.4 times compared with the system without GGBS (0.3 and 0.5 MPa). The simulated SSSM substitution tests show that a synergistic solidification effect exists between SSSM and GGBS and contributes to strength development. Microstructural analysis shows that GGBS undergoes hydration under the alkali-sulfate environment provided by SSSM, generating ettringite (AFt) and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H gel), which fill pores and thereby enhance strength, while calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)
