Current research on the design, properties and applications of tribological materials: a review.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The development of novel materials with excellent wear resistance and anti-friction properties has become a prominent focus of research. The design and fabrication of such materials is expected to make a significant contribution to energy conservation; they may reduce energy losses caused by friction and wear by approximately 40%. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in tribological materials in terms of design, properties, and applications. It first summarizes the design strategies of tribological materials from two aspects: surface engineering and matrix strengthening. Subsequently, it explores the relationship between the wear resistance of materials and intrinsic properties such as hardness, stiffness, strength, and cyclic plasticity. Furthermore, it introduces the application of tribological materials in aerospace components, automotive parts, wind turbines, micro-/nano-electromechanical systems, atomic force microscopes, and biomedical devices. Finally, the paper discusses future challenges and potential development directions in this critical research area.
