Recent Advances in the Research and Application of Protective Composites for Stone Surfaces.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The degradation of stone surfaces resulting from natural aging and environmental factors poses significant challenges to material durability and esthetics. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in composite protective materials designed to enhance stone surface preservation. It focuses on the classifications and fundamental properties of organic polymer-based materials, inorganic nanocomposites, and multifunctional protective coatings, emphasizing their physicochemical, mechanical, and environmental performance. The review further analyzes case studies across various stone substrates, such as marble, limestone, sandstone, and granite, highlighting substrate-specific coating compatibility and protective effectiveness against water ingress, biological colonization, graffiti, and pollutant deposition. Critical factors influencing protective performance, including stone mineralogy, coating composition, environmental conditions, and application protocols, are elucidated. Finally, existing challenges and future research directions are identified, underscoring the need for environmentally friendly, multifunctional, and durable composite coatings with enhanced substrate adaptability and simplified application processes.
