On effects of freezing and thawing cycles of concrete containing nano-[Formula: see text]: experimental study of material properties and crack simulation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Construction during cold weather can lead to freezing accidents in concrete, causing significant hidden threats to the project's performance and safety by affecting the mechanical properties and durability reduction. This study aims to deduce the compressive strength and durability of the concrete containing nano-[Formula: see text] under freezing-thawing cycles with the Caspian seawater curing condition. The specimens were subjected to freezing-thawing cycles according to ASTM C666. Furthermore, crack propagation in the concrete after freezing-thawing cycles is simulated. The results reveal that adding until nano-[Formula: see text] until 6% improved compressive strength before and after freezing-thaw cycles. The water permeability experiences a substantial reduction as the amount of nano-[Formula: see text] increases. Furthermore, the water permeability exhibits a positive correlation with the number of cycles, resulting in significantly higher values after 150 cycles compared to the initial sample. Moreover, adding 8% nano-[Formula: see text] reduced the depth of water permeability and chloride ion penetration after 150 cycles by 57% and 86%, respectively. The crack simulation results indicate that concrete containing 6% nano-[Formula: see text] shows an optimal resistance against crack formation. Concrete with 6% nano-[Formula: see text] requires 13.88% less force for crack initialization after 150 freezing and thawing cycles. Among different nano-[Formula: see text] percentages, 6% shows the best crack resistance and 8% the minimum water permeability and chloride ion penetration.
