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

The problem of potable water shortage all over the world made the scientists seek for solutions to overcome this problem. Solar distiller is one of the introduced solutions, but it demerited by the low freshwater output. In this proposed paper, a design modification includes the use of a convex dish absorber instead of the flat absorber liner. The modified solar distiller is nominated by dish solar distiller. The base of dish solar distiller was circular. In addition, a cotton wick was used as a wetting material for facilitating the evaporation process inside the distiller. Besides, the effect of different water heights in the clearance around the dish dome was investigated for 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 cm. Finally, the space under the dish absorber is filled with a phase change material of paraffin wax mixed with aluminum oxide nanoparticles. Experimental results revealed that the best dish height that provided the highest freshwater productivity was 9 cm, where the average daily yields of dish solar distiller (at 9 cm) and conventional distillers were reported as 4500 and 3000 mL/m
