Review of Failure Mechanisms of Steel Wire Ropes Under Heavy-Load Conditions and the Anti-Friction Effects of Gel-like Grease.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The failure behavior of steel wire ropes under heavy load conditions is a complex system involving the interaction of mechanical damage, lubrication status, and detection technology. Despite numerous studies, the existing literature seriously lacks a systematic framework to correlate the structural integrity and deformation behavior of gel-like grease and its central role in suppressing the critical failure modes (wear, fatigue, corrosion) of steel wire ropes. This review aims to fill this critical knowledge gap. By critically synthesizing existing studies, this paper explains for the first time how the microstructural evolution and rheological behavior of gel-like grease can ultimately determine the macroscopic failure process and life of steel wire ropes by influencing the interfacial tribological processes. We further demonstrate, based on the understanding of the above mechanism, how to optimize the detection strategy and design high-performance gel-like greases for specific working conditions. Ultimately, this work not only provides a unified perspective for understanding the system reliability of steel wire ropes but also lays a solid theoretical foundation for the future development of intelligent mechanism-based lubrication and predictive maintenance technologies.
