Automation, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence in Seafood Processing: Advancements, Challenges, and Future Prospects.
Review in Journal of food science, 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
This review presents a comprehensive analysis of automation and robotics in the seafood processing industry, emphasizing their role in enhancing efficiency, product quality, food safety, and sustainability. It explores the application of advanced technologies such as robotics, blockchain, computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) across various stages of seafood processing, including sorting, cleaning, grading, cutting, filleting, packaging, and quality assessment. The review highlights the emergence of intelligent packaging and labeling systems that improve traceability, extend shelf life, and support cold chain integrity. Key benefits of automation such as reduced labor dependency, increased yield, improved hygiene, and waste reduction are discussed alongside industry challenges, including high implementation costs, technical integration issues, and regulatory constraints. Additionally, the review examines future trends such as soft robotics, predictive analytics, and cloud-based monitoring, which are shaping the next generation of smart seafood factories. Unlike previous generalized reviews on food automation, this review provides a seafood-processing-specific synthesis integrating robotics, AI, machine vision, smart packaging, blockchain traceability, and Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies with critical discussion of industrial implementation challenges and future smart factory applications. Overall, it underscores the pivotal role of digital technologies in transforming global seafood processing systems.
