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

Plant cuticles exhibit exceptional liquid repellence and self-healing properties through brush-like cutin-wax nanostructures, providing inspiration for the multifunctional slippery materials. Here, a plant cuticle-inspired solid slippery surface (PI-SSS) is introduced based on surface-grafted polymer brushes, which act as a stable molecular matrix to enhance the adhesion strength of lubricating copolymer and the substrate (≈0.96 MPa) via strong ion-dipole interactions. The resultant PI-SSS demonstrates excellent optical transmittance (≈91.3%) and liquid repellence, particularly against crude oil, alongside multifunctional anti-biofouling properties (e.g., proteins, chlorella, and mussels). The durability of the coating is validated under extreme conditions, such as prolonged acid and base solution exposure, repeated adhesion/peeling cycles, and seawater immersion, while maintaining its slippery behavior. These features significantly protect solar cells from harsh environments, ensuring a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 15.8% and a stable output voltage of approximately 2.0 V after continuous UV irradiation for a week, and 50 cycles of thermal tests between -15 °C and 100 °C, offering a promising approach for marine solar photovoltaic protection.
