Intelligent Perception, Decision-Making and Actuation Technologies for Precision Agrochemical Spraying: Current Advances and Future Perspectives.
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
This review summarizes recent advances in intelligent spraying systems for precision agriculture. It focuses on the three interconnected components of perception, decision-making, and actuation, and compares the sensing characteristics of 2D planar field crops and three-dimensional orchard canopies. Particular emphasis is placed on evaluating the target recognition capabilities and physical limitations of machine vision, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), ultrasound, and active fluorescence spectroscopy under complex field conditions. At the actuation level, the dynamic response characteristics of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), proportional control valves, and adaptive control algorithms are critically reviewed, revealing the influence mechanism of hydraulic transient phenomena, including water hammer effects induced by high-frequency valve switching, on droplet size distribution (DSD). The review further discusses the coupling effects between Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) airflow fields, Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) motion disturbances, and spray deposition performance, and summarizes reported improvements in pesticide reduction, water conservation, and drift mitigation. Finally, the potential of cyber-physical systems (CPS) and digital twin-based frameworks for developing adaptive and closed-loop intelligent spraying systems is discussed to provide insights into future all-weather and autonomous agricultural operations.
