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

This study examined the effects of coating waste tire aggregates (WTAs) with pumice, perlite, or diatomite, combined with polypropylene (PP) fiber addition, on the fresh, mechanical, transport, and durability properties of one-part hybrid geopolymer composites. Sixteen mixtures were produced using a Taguchi L16 design with a binder system of fly ash, CEM II/B-S cement, and sodium metasilicate powder. Coating type, WTA ratio, and PP fiber content were the key performance factors. Pumice coating performed best overall by improving the interfacial transition zone: 28-day compressive strength reached 15.5 MPa and flexural strength 1.60 MPa, while porosity and capillary water absorption decreased significantly. Among the studied WTA levels, 10% WTA yielded the most positive direct responses in compressive strength, flexural strength, toughness, and capillary water absorption, whereas higher contents weakened matrix continuity. The effect of PP fiber was response-dependent: 0.5% fiber maximized compressive strength and durability-related responses, while 2% fiber gave the greatest flexural strength and toughness; no single dosage was universally optimal. The pumice-coated series was also the most stable under high temperature, freeze-thaw, MgSO
