Effects of CNTs/PVA on Concrete Performance: Strength, Drying Shrinkage, and Microstructure.
Article 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 2 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
A uniformly dispersed carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nano-colloidal emulsion was synthesized by leveraging colloidal stability and interfacial chemical interactions. This study systematically investigated the influence of the CNTs/PVA nano-colloidal emulsion on the mechanical properties, drying shrinkage, capillary water absorption, and microstructure of cement-based materials, while elucidating the underlying reinforcement mechanisms. The experimental results demonstrated that different CNTs/PVA ratios enhanced the concrete properties: For instance, 0.3% CNTs and 1.0% PVA improved the 28-day compressive and flexural strengths by 15% and 10%, respectively, while 0.5% CNTs and 1.0% PVA reduced the drying shrinkage by 76%, 34%, 22%, and 21% at 7, 28, 180, and 360 days. Additionally, the 0.5% CNTs/1.0% PVA mixture achieved a 25.7% lower absorption rate (25.25 vs. 34.00 g·m
