Volume Stabilization of Steel Slag for Low-Carbon Construction Materials: Mechanisms, Treatment Technologies, and Engineering Application Pathways.
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
Steel slag (SS), a major industrial solid waste generated during steelmaking, has considerable cementitious potential and high hardness for use in low-carbon construction materials. However, its widespread utilization is limited by poor volume stability arising from the delayed hydration and expansion of free CaO (f-CaO) and free MgO (f-MgO). This review systematically examines the formation mechanisms of these expansive phases and evaluates four stabilization technologies, including surface modification, high-temperature modification, acid treatment, and carbonation, with respect to their reaction mechanisms, technical advantages, limitations, and engineering applicability. The performance of stabilized SS in cementitious matrices and as construction aggregates is also assessed, together with the corresponding application scenarios. Carbonation is a promising route because it can simultaneously reduce reactive expansive phases and mineralize CO
