Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The manipulation of thermal radiation amplitude or direction over a broadband spectrum is a fundamental capability, demonstrating significant potential in thermal management and infrared information encryption. However, existing approaches cannot control both aspects simultaneously. In this study, an ultrabroadband directional tunable thermal emitter (UDTTE) utilizing the metal-insulator transition properties of vanadium dioxide photonic structure and the Brewster effect is proposed. Before the phase transition, the UDTTE exhibits an average emissivity as low as 0.07 across the 3-20 µm band and the entire range of angles. After the phase transition, the UDTTE maintains a low emissivity of 0.33 for incident angles below 73° but displays a high emissivity of 0.78 in the 73°-83° range. This designed experiments in information encryption demonstrate that the UDTTE can synergistically utilize temperature, viewing angle, and polarization to achieve multi-level encryption of IR information. This strategy further enhances the capability to manipulate thermal radiation and holds promise for advancing technologies in information security, IR camouflage, and thermal management.
