Effects of Radiation Dose on Lubricants: A Review of Experimental Studies.
Review in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2025. 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
One of the key priorities in modern mechanical engineering is to ensure the safe, long-lasting operation of systems while maximizing energy efficiency and withstanding extreme and damaging conditions. This is especially relevant in environments subject to radiation, in which materials, depending on their chemical and elemental composition, exhibit specific limitations. In this review, we summarize the current state of the art in research and development regarding the performance of lubricants in radiation fields and the effectiveness of radiation-tolerant lubricated systems. We discuss the current understanding of radiation-damage mechanisms in dry-film lubricants, oils, and greases, and we summarize the experimental results of the irradiation studies performed to date. We compile and compare the established performance of various material types and chemistries in intense ionizing radiation fields. Finally, we provide an overview of future research directions, highlighting the challenges faced in irradiation studies, considerations relating to the selection of materials, new facilities and experiments aimed at advancing the field, and other issues related to the safe application and use of lubricant materials in radiation environments.
