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
The freezing behavior of cement paste saturated with different chloride concentrations is investigated numerically with a coupled 3D hygro-thermo-mechanical FE analysis. The mathematical formulation of the freezing processes in the context of poromechanics takes into account the water (hydraulic) and ice pore pressures, as well as the distribution of heat (temperature) and strains. These quantities are calculated numerically based on three coupled differential equations, namely the static equilibrium equation and the equations for the transport of water and heat. The coupling between the mechanical (loading) and the non-mechanical processes (freezing) is performed using a staggered solution scheme. The proposed numerical approach is first validated using numerical and experimental studies from the literature dealing with two different cement pastes saturated with different amounts of chloride. The validated model is then used to investigate the effects of liquid water permeability, total porosity and pore size distribution on the freezing behavior of hardened cement paste. The results show that liquid water permeability has a strong effect on the pore pressure and deformation of the hardened cement paste. It is also shown that by decreasing the total porosity, the material becomes denser and contracts more as the temperature decreases, leading to a decrease in freezing strain. The results of this paper will provide important findings for the development of a simplified engineering model to investigate the mechanism that leads to freeze-thaw salt-induced damage to concrete structures in the framework of the DFG-funded research project.
