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.
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
High-volume fly ash binder and aeolian sand have been widely used in the production of low-carbon ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) owing to their environmental and economic benefits. However, such low-carbon UHPC still faces the volume stability issues, including autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage and early-age cracking. In this study, a superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was incorporated into low-carbon UHPC containing high-volume fly ash and aeolian sand to improve its volume stability through internal curing. The effects of SAP particle size and dosage on the mechanical properties and volume stability of low-carbon UHPC were investigated. Results showed that the addition of 0.3% SAP with a particle size of 180-600 μm significantly reduced shrinkage and early-age cracking while maintaining the compressive strength. Furthermore, the microstructure of low-carbon UHPC was characterized using advanced techniques to shed light on the underlying mechanisms.
