1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Polymeric coatings play a pivotal role in enhancing the durability, functionality, and sustainability of structural materials exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have transformed the development, optimization, and evaluation of these coatings by enabling data-driven material discovery, predictive performance modeling, and autonomous inspection. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview on AI-driven polymeric coating strategies for structural applications, emphasizing the integration of machine learning, computer vision, and multi-physics simulations into traditional materials engineering frameworks. The discussion encompasses AI-assisted material selection methods for polymers, fillers, and surface modifiers; predictive models for corrosion, fatigue, and degradation; and intelligent evaluation systems using digital imaging, sensor fusion, and data analytics. Case studies highlight emerging trends such as self-healing, smart, and sustainable coatings that leverage AI to balance mechanical performance, environmental resistance, and carbon footprint. The review concludes with identifying current challenges-including data scarcity, model interpretability, and cross-domain integration-and proposes future research directions toward explainable, autonomous, and circular coating design pipelines.
