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 high carbon emissions generated during the production of cement, lime, and other traditional soil stabilizers and to promote the resource utilization of industrial solid waste, this study proposed a low-carbon loess stabilization scheme using tuff powder (TP), fly ash (FA), and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) activated by alkaline solutions to fully substitute conventional cement and lime. A series of macroscopic tests, including unconfined compressive strength, water immersion, and triaxial shear tests, were carried out on stabilized loess. Combined with microcharacterization including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic testing, this study systematically evaluated the mechanical performance, water stability, and microstructural evolution of stabilized loess and quantified its global warming potential (GWP). Macroscopic test results reveal that the composite binder consisting of 15% multi-source solid waste (TP:FA:GGBS) = (1:1:3), 3% NaOH, and 3.2% Na
