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

Improving the flame-retardant performance of asphalt is particularly important for tunnel pavements, where confined environments can intensify fire hazards and smoke accumulation. This study prepared different modified asphalt binders to investigate their flame-retardant performance and rheological properties. The limiting oxygen index and smoke density rating were first used to evaluate the flame-retardant and smoke-suppression performance. Frequency sweep tests were then conducted to analyze the rheological behavior, aging characteristics, and low-temperature cracking resistance of the binders. Finally, microscopic tests were performed to reveal the thermal decomposition behavior and modification mechanism. Results showed that the incorporation of FR02 increased the limiting oxygen index of the warm-mix modified binders by more than 47%. Among the investigated binders, 13% fast-melting warm-mix flame-retardant composite modifier (SBS-WZ) exhibited the highest limiting oxygen index of 30.95% and the lowest smoke density rating of 57.73, indicating the best experimentally measured flame-retardant and smoke-suppression performance. At a reduced frequency of approximately 10
