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
The physics underlying frost and ice formation has been extensively studied over the past few decades, with significant contributions to our understanding of this phenomenon. These insights have primarily been applied to engineering systems with refrigerated surfaces, such as refrigerators, freezers and heat pumps of various sizes. Despite considerable progress, the dynamic and complex mechanisms governing frost and ice formation remain an active area of research, as competing factors continue to challenge predictive accuracy. The increasing interest from stakeholders in reducing energy consumption and carbon footprints in mechanical systems further underscores the importance of advancing modelling and simulation capabilities in this domain. This article critically reviews recent advances in frost and ice formation modelling, with a focus on identifying key research gaps and opportunities for further exploration.This article is part of the theme issue 'Heat and mass transfer in frost and ice'.
