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

Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) offers a decentralized solution for freshwater generation in remote and arid regions. Continuous SAWH systems, with their compact design and energy efficiency, present advantages over discontinuous systems for kilogram-scale water supply. Using global meteorological data and advanced modeling, we evaluated the performance of passive and active continuous systems, incorporating the isothermal and dynamic properties of twelve advanced sorbents, such as hydrogels, metal-organic frameworks, and composites. Results show that solar-powered continuous SAWH systems can operate effectively year-round in 39.53% of global districts, while active systems enable low-energy harvesting in 55.27% of districts. Temperature and humidity significantly influence performance, with correlations of 47.41% and 86.41%, respectively, surpassing the impact of atmospheric pressure and solar radiation. This study provides a predictive framework for global SAWH performance, offering design insights to optimize system efficiency and guide sorbent development for broader applications.
