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

A wearable detector to monitor visible light intensity is realized by the restrained photochromism of a hydrogel composite containing light-responsive spiropyran with hydroxyl groups (SPOH). When exposed to visible light, the SPOH experiences a ring-opening to a ring-closed transition accompanied by discoloration from red to yellow. Unlike in the solution, the photochromism/discoloration rate is strongly correlated to the cross-linking points. By reducing the amount of cross-linker from 40 to 5 mg, the photochromism rate of SPOH is 300% faster. Inspired by the Chinese Jade Loong from Hongshan, the hydrogel composite is shaped into a Loong to monitor the light intensity. By increasing the amount of cross-linker in the head, body, and tail, the photochromism/discoloration rate sequentially turns slower from one region to the other. Higher light intensity is required to realize the discoloration in the hydrogel composite containing a larger amount of the cross-linker. Because the initial colors are identical, the light intensity can be easily traced by checking the discoloration of these pieces containing different amounts of cross-linker. Based on this unique and reversible photochromic capability, the present hydrogel composite can be used for monitoring the visible light intensity to prevent myopia, especially for children and students.
