From Hydrogen Bond Disruption to Accelerated Polymerization: Atomic Mechanisms of Microwave-Accelerated C-A-S-H Gel Formation.
Article in ACS omega, 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
Although microwave curing accelerates concrete strength development by a significant compared to steam curing, the atomistic origins of this kinetic enhancement remain elusive. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the influence of microwave irradiation on the nucleation and growth of Calcium-Alumino-Silicate-Hydrate (C-A-S-H) gels. The results show that alternating electric fieldsapplied via intermittent (IM) or sinusoidal (SM) modesinduce intense rotational and translational motion in polar water and hydroxyl groups. The alternating electric field reduces the hydrogen bond retention ratio from 0.915 in the Control group to 0.827 under SM mode and 0.725 under IM mode. Cage-jump dynamics analysis confirms the resulting "decaging" of monomers, with the non-Gaussian parameter α
