Effects of Nanomaterials on the Fresh and Hardened Properties of Concrete: A Review.
Review in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Insufficient tensile strength, low abrasion resistance, and inadequate consistency in the fresh state led to fractures and decreased the durability of the concrete. Tensile stress resistance is the most challenging, resulting in the formation of microcracks that propagate to a macrolevel. Nanomaterials, with dimensions ranging from 0.1 to 100 nanometers, represent an innovative class of materials that can enhance the mechanical properties of concrete through the nano-core effect. These materials play significant roles in the formation of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gels, contribute to seeding effects, and augment cement hydration reactions. Given the above, the addition of nanomaterials makes concrete exhibit exceptional mechanical strength and improved durability performance. The primary objective of this review is to identify the potential nanomaterials suitable for the development of high-performance concrete. This article reviews the literature on the effects of nanoparticles, such as nano-calcium carbonates (NCCs), iron oxide (NI), nano-aluminum oxide (NA), graphene oxide (GO), nano-silica (NS), and nano-titanium oxide (NT) on the fresh and hardened properties of the material. The study identifies a promising nanomaterial for enhancing concrete, highlights research gaps, and suggests future research directions for its optimal application in future concrete constructions.
