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

Thermo-responsive polymer is becoming a potential water purification and water harvesting material. To clarify the water diffusion characteristics, the desorption ratio of liquid water and water vapor for a poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) was researched by the multi-scale method. Firstly, macro and micro structures for the hydrogel with different water content were characterized. Second, the dynamic moisture preserving status of the hydrogel during the desorption process were tested. Thirdly, the dynamic liquid-vapor desorption rate was quantified. The macro volume of the polymer is of liner relationship with water content. During the desorption process, free and immobilized water transfers to immobilized and bound water. About 80% of the purified liquid water can be collected directly in closed environment, while the amount decreased to 21%-25% in air convection condition. The results suggested a heating method for improving liquid water collection rate with low energy cost for practical applications.
