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

Cement-stabilized soil is widely used for ground improvement but suffers from brittleness and low tensile strength. This study investigates combined modification of cement-stabilized soil with waste brick powder (WBP, 5%) and glass fiber (GF, 0-2.0%) to enhance mechanical performance and microstructural integrity. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS), splitting tensile strength (STS), and qualitative scanning electron microscopy were evaluated at 3, 14, and 28 days. Results reveal stress-state-dependent reinforcement: UCS peaked at 2.0% GF with gains of 18.1%, 7.3%, and 9.1%, while STS maximized at 1.5% GF (43% increase), declining 14.3% at 2.0% due to fiber agglomeration. Post-peak ductility improved markedly, with the residual strength ratio increasing from 12.4% to 43.2% and the ductility index from 1.18 to 1.85. Microstructural analysis suggests that uniform fiber dispersion enables crack bridging and interfacial load transfer, whereas agglomeration creates localized weak zones. Preliminary assessment indicates that WBP substitution may avoid approximately 85 kg CO
