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

Magnesia-based cements (MBCs) are promising low-carbon alternatives to conventional portland cement due to their lower calcination temperature requirements and ability to utilize magnesia derived from carbon-free feedstocks. Understanding these systems requires deep knowledge of the entire reaction sequence: from the initial dissolution of magnesia (MgO) particles and the transport of magnesium ions through solution, to the precipitation of brucite [Mg(OH)₂], and ultimately of binding phases such as magnesium silicate hydrates (M-S-H) or magnesium carbonates. While these reaction steps resemble those in CaO-based systems, fundamental differences in thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors result in key differences in the dissolution and precipitation pathways of MBCs. To further explicate these differences, this review utilizes thermodynamic simulations revealing the effect of chemical additives (complexing ligands) on the solubility of Mg(OH) Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-026-03048-x.
