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

Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) presents great potential in addressing the increasing global challenges in freshwater and energy supply, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. The recent AWH materials focus primarily on maximizing water uptake, while conventional approaches prioritize hygroscopicity at the expense of mechanical integrity, which severely limits their applicability in real-world scenarios. In this study, a novel tunable hygroscopic mix-charged polyzwitterionic hydrogel (THMPH) is reported that achieves dual excellence in outstanding moisture absorbency and mechanical robustness. Owing to the broad ionic crosslink's degree enabling the rigid skeletal framework and energy-dissipative sacrificial networks, THMPH exhibits more than 200 times higher mechanical ductility (225 kPa tensile strength retention at 200% mass swelling ratio) in comparison with the commonly-used AWH zwitterionic polybetaine. The optimized topological structure coupled with improved lithium chloride binding affinity results in excellent water uptake (2.9 g g
