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

Thermochromic smart windows offer energy-saving potential through temperature-responsive optical transmittance adjustments, yet face challenges in achieving anti-UV radiation, fast response, and high-temperature stability characteristics for long-term use. Herein, the rational design of Hofmeister effect-enhanced, nanoparticle-shielded composite hydrogels, composed of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAA), sodium sulfate, and polydopamine nanoparticles, for anti-UV, fast-response, and all-day-modulated smart windows is reported. Specifically, a three-dimensional network of PDMAA is created as the supporting skeleton, markedly enhancing the thermal stability of pristine HPMC hydrogels. Sodium sulfate induces a Hofmeister effect, lowering the lower critical solution temperature to 32 °C while accelerating phase transition rates fivefold (30 s vs. 150 s). Intriguingly, small-sized polydopamine nanoparticles simultaneously enable high luminous transmittance of 66.9% and outstanding anti-UV capability. Additionally, the smart window showcases a high solar modulation (51.2%) and maintains a 10.2 °C temperature reduction versus a glass window during all-day modulation applications. The design strategy is effective, opening up new avenues for manufacturing fast-response and durable thermochromic smart windows for energy savings and emission reduction.
