Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Pipelines are the primary mode of oil and gas transport in cold regions. Differential frost heaving of frozen and non-frozen soil masses can damage such pipelines, posing economic and environmental risks. The present study investigates the mechanical behaviors of buried pipelines under differential frost heaving forces. A discrete forecasting model of these mechanical behaviors based on frost heaving springs is proposed. The relationship between the frost heaving amount and force at any moment is established using the Takashi empirical equation and the corresponding development of frost depth. On this basis, the properties of nonlinear frost heaving springs are disclosed. A model of pipeline mechanical state is derived to understand the deformation and stress at any moment, allowing the dynamic prediction of mechanical behaviors. The model is applied to two case studies involving the Caen and Alaska buried pipelines. The modeling results agree well with measurements taken at these pipelines, and the discrete descriptions of their mechanical modes are effective. A sensitivity analysis of the modeling results for pipelines of different size was conducted, providing a theoretical foundation for the optimal design of buried pipelines in cold regions.
