1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates are widely used in both aviation and structural engineering, yet their implementation reflects fundamentally different paradigms. Aviation represents a fatigue-critical, certification-driven domain, while structural engineering emphasizes long-term durability and environmental resilience. These sectors were selected as conceptual extremes to explore how contrasting design philosophies, degradation mechanisms, and inspection strategies shape the performance and reliability of laminated FRP composites. Their approaches offer complementary insights: aviation contributes high-fidelity modeling and embedded monitoring, while structural engineering provides scalable inspection strategies and exposure-based degradation logic. Both sectors employ classical laminate theory and finite element modeling, but diverge in modeling depth and regulatory integration. This review synthesizes these contrasts based on 168 literature references, including 141 published between 2020 and 2025, reflecting recent developments in composite design, modeling, and inspection. It contributes to materials engineering by proposing hybrid modeling and inspection frameworks that integrate progressive damage simulation with durability-based design logic. By bridging the modeling precision of aviation with the environmental realism of structural engineering, this review outlines a pathway toward unified, sustainable, and adaptive engineering practices for laminated FRP composites.
