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.
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 kiln dust (CKD) can partially replace Portland cement in cemented tailings backfill, but its application must satisfy both pipeline transportability and mechanical strength requirements. This study aims to evaluate the rheological and mechanical evolution of a low-carbon CKD-modified backfill to optimize its transport-strength trade-off. This study introduced a binder containing 10% CKD and 90% ordinary Portland cement at a binder-to-tailings ratio of 1:6. Thirteen single-factor mixtures were prepared to examine silica fume (0-7% of binder), sodium silicate (0-4%), polycarboxylate powder (0-0.40%), and solids mass concentration (72-74%). The Bingham yield stress and plastic viscosity were determined in the fresh state, and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) was determined after 3, 7, 28, and 56 d. Increasing polycarboxylate dosage strongly reduced yield stress, whereas raising solids concentration from 72% to 74% increased yield stress from 5.82 to 58.83 Pa and plastic viscosity from 0.0953 to 0.2889 Pa·s. Silica fume increased 56 d UCS from 1.39 to 2.28 MPa, while sodium silicate mainly improved early-age strength and produced non-monotonic later-age responses. At 74% solids, the 56 d UCS reached 2.54 MPa, accompanied by substantially higher rheological resistance. This study introduces a path-dependent, age-progressive framework to improve backfill strength prediction accuracy. A conditional age-progressive regression model was developed using min-max normalized mix variables and the measured UCS at the preceding age. In-sample R2 values were 0.9697-0.9805 for 7-56 d; leave-one-out validation with measured prior-age UCS gave R2 values of 0.7951-0.8198. The model should therefore be interpreted as a field-updating tool after early-age testing rather than as an independently validated design-only predictor. The results quantify the transport-strength trade-off within the investigated materials and dosage ranges.
