Diatomite-Based Recyclable and Green Coating for Efficient Radiative Cooling.
Article in Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Radiative cooling is a promising strategy to address energy challenges arising from global warming. Nevertheless, integrating optimal cooling performance with commercial applications is a considerable challenge. Here, we demonstrate a scalable and straightforward approach for fabricating green radiative cooling coating consisting of methyl cellulose matrix-random diatomites with water as a solvent. Because of the efficient scattering of the porous morphology of diatomite and the inherent absorption properties of both diatomite and cellulose, the aqueous coating exhibits an excellent solar reflectance of 94% in the range of 0.25-2.5 μm and a thermal emissivity of 0.9 in the range of 8-14 µm. During exposure to direct sunlight at noon, the obtained coating achieved a maximum subambient temperature drop of 6.1 °C on sunny days and 2.5 °C on cloudy days. Furthermore, diatomite is a naturally sourced material that requires minimal pre-processing, and our coatings can be prepared free from harmful organic compounds. Combined with cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness, it offers a viable path for the commercial application of radiative cooling.
