From Waste to Value-Added Resource: A Strategic Review of Recycling and Regeneration Pathways for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Waste.
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
The rapid expansion of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in wind energy, transportation, and aerospace is generating increasing amounts of accompanied waste, making effective valorization essential to a circular economy. This review compares FRP recovery technologies in terms of recovered-fiber quality, operating conditions, post-treatment, environmental impacts, and industrial applicability. Then, it also examines direct reuse, FRP remanufacturing, and reuse in cementitious composites. Quantitative synthesis indicates that high-quality recycled carbon fibers (rCFs) generally retain more than 90% of their original strength, whereas mechanically recovered glass fibers (rGFs) typically retain approximately 70-90%. The preferred pathway depends on the intrinsic value, damage state, morphology, and residual properties. Components with sufficient residual capacity should be directly reused; high-quality fibers are better suited to polymer remanufacturing; and heterogeneous or lower-grade glass-FRP (GFRP) fractions are more compatible with cementitious applications, where mechanically recycled GFRP can provide interfacial bond strengths comparable to conventional engineering macrofibers. Future research should establish quantitative links among recovered material quality, processing, interfacial behavior, and end-use performance, while adopting consistent environmental and economic assessment boundaries. A graded utilization framework is therefore required to support both large-scale and value-added reuse of FRP waste.
