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

In many situations in everyday life, sunlight levels need to be reduced. Optical filters with asymmetric transmittance dependent on the incident angle would be useful for sunglasses and vehicle or architectural windows, among others. Herein, we realized the production of optical filters, called "louver filters", comprising HAN-type LC film produced using liquid crystalline ink with dichroic dyes. For the formation of the HAN-type LC film, the liquid crystalline ink was aligned on a rubbed polyimide layer and polymerized by UV irradiation. Two kinds of filters are proposed: one is a filter composed of HAN-type LC film and a polarizer, and the other is composed of two HAN-LC films with a half-wave plate between them. The dependence of the asymmetric transmittance on the incident angle was confirmed for these filters. The dependence changed depending on the pretilt angle of the alignment layers. Photographs taken with the optical filters displayed their effectiveness.
