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
To address the severe issue of subgrade frost heave in season-frozen soil highway engineering in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) region, this studied investigated the frost-heaving characteristics (FHC) of subgrade soil with different initial water content (IWC) and fine particle content (FPC) under unidirectional freezing (UDF) and surrounding freezing (SDF) conditions through laboratory experiments. Furthermore, based on the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupling theory, variations in the temperature, moisture, and stress fields were analyzed numerically. The findings aim to provide a reference for the development of preventive and control measures against subgrade frost heave. The results show that the frost-heaving deformation (FHD) of subgrade soil can be divided into four stages: frost-shrinkage deformation stage, FHD rapid increase stage, FHD slow increase stage, and FHD stabilization stage; A sensitivity analysis suggests that controlling the IWC and FPC at approximately 8% and 9%, respectively, in the subgrade gradation design can effectively inhibit frost heave. Compared to the SDF condition, the UDF condition resulted in a more significant temperature gradient and a distinct freezing front. However, stress concentration points were observed under both freezing conditions.
