Current Methods and Technologies for Storage Tank Condition Assessment: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study investigates the current industry practices for storage tank assessment and the possibilities for improving inspection methods using the latest technologies on the market. This article presents the main methods and technologies for non-destructive testing (NDT), along with new methods that make them more efficient and economical. To further analyze the state of a tank and determine its lifetime expectancy, analysis methods are presented based on NDT results. The key aspects that can be improved and made more efficient are NDT procedures using robots/drones and autonomous devices; automated inspection procedures, like remote video inspection combined with local thickness measurement or 3D scanning of the tank elements for deformations; advanced analysis methods using the input from the NDT and inspection data collected using analytical calculations according to applicable standards; Finite Element Analysis (FEA); and digitalized models of equipment (Digital Twin) accompanied by artificial intelligence for data processing. The best way to make the process more efficient is to develop and use dedicated standardized software for tank condition assessment.
