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

Looking at the demand for precise matching between the mechanical properties of similar materials and natural soft clay in soft ground visual model tests, this paper proposes a preparation method for graded transparent soil based on optical testing principles and geotechnical similarity theory. Using n-dodecane and 15# white oil as pore fluids, combined with nano-fumed silica and optimally graded fused quartz sand, a graded transparent soil material system with accurately matched refractive indices was constructed. The synergistic effect of nano-fumed silica and graded quartz sand enables dual optimization of material transparency and mechanical performance. The feasibility of simulating soft ground was verified through load-plate tests, jacked pile penetration model tests, and consolidated-drained (CD) triaxial tests. The consolidation compression and direct shear test results show that the material has a compression coefficient of 1.43 MPa
