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

Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) as a zero-energy cooling technology that reflects most of sunlight and emits infrared thermal radiation to outer space, has attracted much attention. However, most PDRC materials suffer dust accumulation problem during long-term use, seriously detrimental to their cooling performance. Here, we demonstrate a micro-structured polyethylene film fabricated through a scalable hot embossing lithography (named HELPE), enables good superhydrophobic property and therefore excellent self-cleaning performance as a universal protective layer for most PDRC materials. Specifically, the precisely designed three-dimensional periodic micron columns on polyethylene film allow for high water droplet contact angle of 151°, and the intrinsic molecular bindings of polyethylene endow low solar absorption (
