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

The maturity method (ASTM C1074) predicts in situ concrete strength from a recorded temperature history but assumes a constant apparent activation energy, contradicting the experimental evidence that the activation energy falls as hydration shifts from kinetics control to diffusion control-an effect that differs between binder chemistries when supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are used. This study develops a physics-based maturity model in which the apparent activation energy varies linearly with temperature,
