Effects of Cementitious Amendments on the Mechanical Strength and Hydraulic Conductivity of Mine Tailings for Reclamation Cover Systems.

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
Tailings storage facility (TSF) reclamation commonly involves the construction of cover systems, requiring large volumes of materials with specific hydro-geotechnical properties. When suitable materials are not locally available, their extraction and transport can generate significant environmental and economic costs. On abandoned or inactive TSFs, where long-term acid mine drainage may occur, reclamation is highly sensitive to geochemical conditions, especially for weathered tailings affected by indirect oxidation and secondary mineral precipitation. Using these tailings as cover materials represents a promising alternative but would require improvement of their mechanical performance and limitation of metal leaching. This study investigated the effectiveness of general use limestone (GUL) and slag-based cements, a combination of GU and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), for the solidification/stabilization of weathered tailings to create a hydraulic barrier. Cemented paste mixtures incorporating 5-7 wt% binder were evaluated through unconfined compressive strength (UCS), saturated hydraulic conductivity (k Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10706-026-03853-9.
