Harnessing polymeric materials for applications in electric vehicle with sustainability contributions and prospects.
Review in iScience, 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 accelerated global shift to EVs is revolutionizing the field of materials science, thereby making polymeric materials indispensable to all subsystems in EVs. In this context, this review provides a critical analysis of the evolution, classification, and applications of polymeric materials within the different EV subsystems, including structural composites, battery housing, thermal systems, insulation, and interior parts. Building on this classification, this review further highlights the latest advances made in the fields of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, engineering thermoplastic polymers, elastomers, bio-based, and recyclable polymers with specific performance criteria and associated challenges. Beyond their technical role, this review also focuses on aligning the technological advancements of such materials with the United Nations sustainable development goals (UN SDGs). This review also highlights relevant knowledge gaps in scaling up bio-based polymer production, the longevity of polymer housings for batteries subjected to thermal cycling, and the lack of a universally agreed-upon EV polymer recycling protocol.
