Comparative Strength Development and Microstructural Characteristics of Individual Industrial Solid Waste Systems Treated with Sodium Silicate.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bulk industrial solid wastes are promising materials for clay stabilization, but the independent performance of different waste types under identical conditions remains insufficiently understood. In this study, fly ash (FA), coal gangue (CG), and ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) were independently incorporated into a low-liquid-limit clay matrix treated with sodium silicate. Waste dosages of 10%, 15%, and 20% and curing ages of 3, 7, and 28 days were investigated using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests. Representative 28-day specimens were further examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The three systems exhibited distinct dosage- and age-dependent UCS responses, and strength did not increase monotonically with waste dosage. At 15% dosage, the 28-day UCS values of the FA, CG, and GGBS systems were 0.26, 0.26, and 0.29 MPa, respectively. XRD showed broadly similar crystalline phase assemblages, while SEM revealed differences in particle morphology and local surface deposits. The results provide a controlled comparison of the independent performance of FA, CG, and GGBS in clay stabilization under the investigated conditions.
