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
This study developed an eco-friendly mine backfill material using coal gangue, fly ash, desert sand, and natural rice husk. The mechanical properties and damage evolution characteristics were investigated through uniaxial compression, Brazilian splitting, acoustic emission (AE), digital image correlation (DIC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers provided the highest reinforcement efficiency, followed by polypropylene (PP) fibers. At a natural rice husk dosage of 5%, the backfill reached a compressive strength of 5.6 MPa and a splitting tensile strength of 0.376 MPa, representing an 83.4% increase in tensile strength compared with the fiber-free group and approaching the performance of the PP fiber group. Increasing the cement replacement ratio from 50% to 70% reduced strength, whereas longer curing improved strength development. The coupled AE-DIC observations indicate that natural rice husk incorporation delayed crack localization and changed the failure process from sudden brittle cracking to more progressive damage. SEM observations show that natural rice husk formed local contact and partial embedding with the cementitious matrix, with hydration products around the rice husk and visible pull-out voids. Overall, natural rice husk can be used as a low-cost and sustainable reinforcing material for coal gangue-desert sand-fly ash-based mine backfill.
