AI and IoT in Sugar Beet Systems: A Review of Monitoring, VOC Sensing, and Post-Harvest Applications.
Review in Sensors (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 global sugar industry is facing increasing challenges due to climate variability, sustainability requirements, and the need for improved operational efficiency. These pressures are driving the search for advanced technological solutions to enhance productivity and resource management. Artificial intelligence (AI) has already demonstrated significant potential across various agricultural sectors; however, a comprehensive evaluation of AI applications across the entire sugar industry value chain from crop cultivation to industrial processing and supply chain management remains limited. This review provides a detailed assessment of the current state of AI and internet of things (IoT) implementation in the sugar beet industry. It examines key applications, including precision agriculture for sugarcane and sugar beet cultivation, intelligent monitoring systems for early disease detection, and AI-driven decision support tools for resource optimization. In addition, the study explores the role of AI in sugar manufacturing processes, where machine learning and data-driven models are used to optimize milling operations, improve product quality control, and enable predictive maintenance of industrial equipment. AI technologies are also shown to enhance supply chain efficiency through improved demand forecasting, logistics optimization, and real-time data analytics. Monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is becoming increasingly important in sugar beet and sugarcane storage. Microbial activity during storage and fermentation can release VOCs such as ethanol, which act as early indicators of crop degradation and spoilage. Detecting these gases using modern gas sensors enables continuous monitoring of storage conditions and crop health. When sensor data is integrated with AI and IoT systems, it can be analyzed in real time to identify early signs of microbial activity, improve storage management, and optimize processing decisions. Such intelligent monitoring systems have the potential to reduce losses and enhance overall efficiency in the sugar production chain.
