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 lack of freshwater has been threatening many people who are living in Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania, while the discovery of freshwater harvesting technology is considered a promising solution. Recent advances in structured surface materials, metal-organic frameworks, hygroscopic inorganic compounds (and derivative materials), and functional hydrogels have demonstrated their potential as platform technologies for atmospheric water (i.e., supersaturated fog and unsaturated water) harvesting due to their cheap price, zero second energy requirement, high water capture capacity, and easy installation and operation compared with traditional water harvesting methods, such as long-distance water transportation, seawater desalination, and electrical dew collection devices in rural areas or individual-scale emergent usage. In this contribution, we highlight recent developments in functional materials for "passive" atmospheric water harvesting application, focusing on the structure-property relationship (SPR) to illustrate the transport mechanism of water capture and release. We also discuss technical challenges in the practical applications of the water harvesting materials, including low adaptability in a harsh environment, low capacity under low humidity, self-desorption, and insufficient solar-thermal conversion. Finally, we provide insightful perspectives on the design and fabrication of atmospheric water harvesting materials.
