Measurement Methods for Fiber Volume Fraction of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites.
Review in Polymers, 2026. 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
Fiber-reinforced composites are extensively utilized in mass-critical structures spanning aerospace, automotive, civil, etc., owing to their exceptional specific strength and stiffness. Fiber volume fraction (FVF) is a critical parameter for evaluating the performance of the composites. As a consequence, different measurement methods have been developed in recent decades, including resin removal method, thickness measurement method, microscopic method, etc. This paper reviews both traditional destructive (acid digestion, combustion, image analysis, etc.) and newly developed non-destructive techniques (X-ray CT, thermography, ultrasonic, XRD, eddy current, etc.), with a focus on their applicability to specific materials, measurement accuracy, operational complexity and cost. Moreover, key challenges and future directions are discussed, emphasizing the need for non-destructive testing, cost and energy efficiency, intelligent measurement and sustainability.
