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.

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
Cement-sodium silicate binary grout is widely used for water sealing and stratum reinforcement in deep underground engineering. Curing pressure profoundly affects the mechanical performance and microstructure of the hardened grout, whereas its pressure-dependent mechanical responses remain insufficiently understood. This study comprehensively investigates the grout's workability, mechanical properties and water-loss degradation characteristics, combining scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) for microscopic analysis. The results show that the combined addition of 3% sodium bentonite and 1% polycarboxylate superplasticizer effectively mitigates slurry bleeding. An increased cement-sodium silicate volume ratio (C/S) improves fluidity and gel time, and C/S ratios of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 were adopted for mechanical tests. Under ambient conditions, grout compressive strength increases with curing age but declines at higher C/S ratios. Curing pressure presents a non-monotonic influence on strength: the strength reaches a minimum at 1.0 MPa and partially recovers at 2.0 MPa, which may result from the competition between pore compaction and hydration gel network damage. Water-loss-induced strength degradation undergoes three typical stages. Grout with lower C/S ratios cured under higher pressure possesses better crack resistance and residual strength. This study clarifies the pressure-adapted mechanism of the grout, providing guidance for its optimal proportioning and application in high-pressure underground engineering.
