Frost resistance improvement of recycled powder concrete by chemical admixtures.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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 sustainable recycling of construction waste is a critical challenge in civil engineering. Recycled powder (RP) shows great potential as a supplementary cementitious material, but the deterioration in frost resistance it causes limits the application of recycled powder concrete (RPC) in cold regions. This study screened the polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PC) with optimal compatibility with RP through adsorption tests and systematically compared the improvement effects of antifreeze water-reducer (AR), air-entraining agent (AE), and antifreeze agent (AF) on frost resistance. Macroscopic properties were evaluated via freeze-thaw cycle tests, and microscopic mechanisms were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), super depth of field (SDF) imaging, and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). Results indicated that after 200 freeze-thaw cycles, the frost resistance improvement ranked as 1% AF > AR > 5% AE. Quantitative analysis revealed that AF optimized the pore structure, reducing the proportion of harmful pores > 200 nm by 8.73%, significantly increasing hydration products, and effectively inhibiting frost heave damage. The study confirms that AF effectively enhances the durability of RPC, providing technical support for the resource utilization of construction waste in concrete engineering in cold regions.
