Adhesively Bonded Steel-Concrete Composite Structures: A Systematic Literature Review.
Review in Materials (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
Adhesively bonded steel-concrete composite structures have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional mechanically connected systems, offering continuous stress transfer and potential improvements in stiffness, load redistribution, and serviceability behavior. However, uncertainties regarding durability and long-term reliability have limited their broader implementation in structural practice. This study presents a PRISMA 2020-based systematic literature review synthesizing experimental, numerical, and theoretical research on adhesively bonded connections in steel-concrete composite structures. A total of 64 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2000 and February 2026 were identified through systematic screening of Scopus and Web of Science datasets. The lack of methodological homogeneity across studies regarding testing protocols, conditions, and reported performance metrics in the literature led to a qualitative thematic synthesis and a bibliometric mapping. A total of six thematic axes (global behavior of bonded members, bond interface mechanics and characterization, numerical modeling approaches, strengthening and retrofit solutions, durability and long-term performance, and hybrid connection systems) were developed to encompass all the studies' primary objectives, synthesize the most recurring themes, and highlight a significant gap related to durability and long-term performance in the state of the art. Beyond classifying the literature, this review contributes a substrate-conditioned interpretive framework that links interfacial mechanics, durability evolution, and reliability-based design, and it sets out a structured roadmap towards durability-informed design criteria for adhesively bonded steel-concrete composite systems.
