Application of Atomic Force Microscopy as Advanced Asphalt Testing Technology: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
In the past three decades, researchers have engaged in the relationship between the composition, macro performance, and microstructure of asphalt. There are many research results in the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study the microstructure and related mechanisms of asphalt. Based on previous studies, the performance of asphalt from its microstructure has been observed and analyzed, and different evaluation indices and modification methods have been proposed, providing guidance toward improving the performance of asphalt materials and benefiting potential applications. This review focuses on the typical application and analysis of AFM in the study of the aging regeneration and modification properties of asphalt. Additionally, this review introduces the history of the rheological and chemical testing of asphalt materials and the history of using AFM to investigate asphalt. Furthermore, this review introduces the basic principles of various modes of application of AFM in the microstructure of asphalt, providing a research direction for the further popularization and application of AFM in asphalt or other materials in the future. This review aims to provide a reference and direction for researchers to further popularize the application of AFM in asphalt and standardize the testing methods of AFM. This paper is also helpful in further exploring the relationship between the microstructure and macro performance of asphalt.
