A Comprehensive Review on the Tribological Evaluation of Polyether Ether Ketone Pristine and Composite Coatings.
Review in Polymers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Polymer coatings have gained a lot of attention in the recent past because of their ability to be easily coated on complex shapes, their low cost, and their ability to reduce friction as compared to other materials. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is one such high-performance polymer that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its exceptional mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability making it a prominent candidate for applications in industries. However, PEEK in its pristine form exhibits poor wear resistance with a moderate coefficient of friction (0.30-0.38). Many attempts have been made by several researchers to improve its wear resistance and lower the COF by developing composite coatings. Hence, in this review, we aim to summarize and present in detail the tribological evaluation of pristine PEEK and PEEK composite coatings by discussing the various methods adopted by the researchers to improve the properties of PEEK, the different types of reinforcements and various dispersion techniques used to develop PEEK composite coatings. By consolidating and analyzing the existing body of knowledge, we also aim to offer valuable insights into the development of more durable, high-performance PEEK nanocomposite coatings for a broad range of tribological applications.
