Design and performance optimization of vehicle-mounted thermal snow-melting system.
Article in PloS one, 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
Snow clearing and melting vehicles do not need to transport snow out of the country, which helps to alleviate traffic congestion and has broad market prospects. In this study, a vehicle-mounted thermal snow-melting system was designed and the performance of the thermal snow-melting system was simulated. Then, the influences of the entry and exit modes, flow rate of the heat medium, and scraper speed on the snow melting rate were analysed. Studies have shown that thermal snowmelt systems are well designed and have good stability and availability. The speed of the scraper significantly affects the rate of snow melting. As the speed of the scraper increases from 0 r/min to 42 r/min, the time required for complete snow melting was reduced to approximately 1/25 of the original. The flow rate of the thermal medium has a small effect on the rate of snow melting. The time taken for the snow to melt completely under the internal inlet and external outlet method is 1.2 to 2.3 times longer than that of the external inlet and internal outlet method. The rank of influence degree was scraper speed> entry and exit modes> flow rate when the target was the maximum melting rate. This research provides a scientific basis for the manufacture of integrated snow clearing and melting equipment.
