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

Camouflage is a common technique in nature, enabling organisms to protect themselves from predators. The development of novel camouflage technologies, not only in fundamental science, but also in the fields of military and civilian applications, is of great significance. In this study, we propose a new type of deep-subwavelength four-layered meta-coating consisting of Si, Bi, Si, and Cr from top to bottom with total thickness of only ∼355 nm for visible-infrared compatible camouflage. The visible color and the infrared emission properties of the meta-coating can be independently adjusted. Colorful meta-coating for visible camouflage can be obtained by changing the thickness of top Si layer, while the selective high emissivity in non-atmospheric window for infrared camouflage remains. Due to the deep-subwavelength properties, the meta-coating shows high angle tolerance in both visible and infrared regions. The compatible camouflage capability of our proposed meta-coating in the visible-infrared region is validated under different environments. The deep-subwavelength, angular insensitivity, visible-infrared compatibility and large-area fabrication feasibility promise the meta-coating an effective solution for camouflage in various applications such as military weapons and anti-counterfeiting.
