Design and Application of Antifouling Bio-Coatings.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Antifouling coatings stand out as one of the highly efficient ways to mitigate surface contamination. Traditional antifouling coatings have a major drawback: they rely on highly toxic and environmentally hazardous compounds. These substances not only lead to ecological harm but also disrupt the natural equilibrium of ecosystems. Consequently, in recent years, eco-friendly antifouling bio-coatings have emerged. This review focuses on the mechanisms and processes underlying contaminant adhesion, laying a solid foundation for grasping the principles of antifouling coating design. It further elaborates on the general strategies for developing bio-based antifouling solutions, highlighting their potential across a wide array of applications. Finally, this review carefully analyzes the current challenges confronted by antifouling bio-coatings and puts forward future development directions. Through a comprehensive overview, we aim to expand the influence of bio-based antifouling technologies, promote the further application of bio-based antifouling coatings in marine antifouling and medical antifouling fields, and provide examples for the establishment of environmental protection policies.
