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 highly hydrophilic coating with a water contact angle below 10° was developed on a transparent polycarbonate (PC) sheet using a UV-curable process. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), modified with poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA), provided the hydrophilic functionality essential for the coating. Fogging and frost formation on transparent surfaces often hinder visibility and pose challenges in various optical applications. The hydrophilic coating developed in this study demonstrated excellent antifogging and antifrost properties, along with a notable self-cleaning capability. These characteristics make it a promising candidate for applications in transparent optical PC materials, requiring enhanced antifogging, antifrost, and self-cleaning performance.
