The Effectiveness of Different Additives on Concrete's Freeze-Thaw Durability: A Review.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
Enhancing concrete's resilience against freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles is a critical challenge in civil engineering, especially in cold climates, where repeated freezing and thawing lead to structural degradation. This review explores the effectiveness of various additives, including supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and chemical admixtures, in improving concrete durability under F-T conditions. Factors influencing F-T resistance include the type and percentage of SCM replacement, the water-cement ratio, pore structure refinement, and air entrainment. The mechanisms by which additives enhance the durability-such as reducing the permeability, improving the microstructure, and increasing the compressive strength-are examined through an extensive review of experimental studies. The findings indicate that manufactured additives, such as silica fume, metakaolin, nano-SiO
