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

Semi-rigid base asphalt pavements suffer from reflective cracking caused by shrinkage of cement-stabilized materials. This study presents a "weak-interface, strong-skeleton" design for Filling-Type Large-Particle-Size Cement-Stabilized Crushed Stone (F-LSBC) using 19-26.5 mm coarse aggregates and fine aggregates below 2.36 mm. Through compaction-filling tests, mechanical strength evaluations, fatigue testing, and drying shrinkage measurements, we determined the optimal skeleton void ratio (∼43%), filler-to-coarse aggregate mass ratio (0.30), and cement dosage (5.27%). Although F-LSBC exhibits lower mechanical strength than conventional cement-stabilized macadam, it reduces cumulative drying shrinkage strain to 81% and the average shrinkage coefficient to 87% of control values. This design provides a practical, construction-friendly approach for crack-resistant pavement bases, offering a balanced trade-off between structural strength and shrinkage control for high-grade highway applications.
