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

Large-area and low-cost coatings introducing electrical, optical, thermal, and surface control functionalities are highly demanded in the fields of flexible and wearable electronics for applications ranging from agrifood and smart packaging to electronic textiles and aerospace. Here, we report a graphene-based coating with combined antifog, electrical, and thermal functionalities suitable for spray deposition on commercially recyclable plastic substrates. A graphene ink formulation in a low-boiling-point solvent, stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone, enables compatibility with deposition processes in the coating industry. Spray-coated graphene films on polyethylene demonstrated antifog properties, achieving a 1.5-fold reduction in the contact angle at a 5% higher optical transmittance compared to commercial antifog coatings. Mechanical testing revealed more than a 1.8-fold improvement in Young's modulus compared to the bare polyethylene. Moreover, by depositing another thin film of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) underneath the graphene coating, electrical conductivity (sheet resistance of about 330 Ω/sq) with similar transparency can be achieved. Testing of the thermal properties of the film demonstrated how these conductive coatings can be used as heaters, reaching about 50 °C at a 30 V bias. Moreover, the graphene smart antifog coating showed a 97% improvement in thermal conductivity, increasing to 283% for the graphene/PEDOT:PSS multilayer coating with respect to the PE. The integration of these combined and novel smart functionalities on commercial recyclable plastic widens the application arena of smart coatings beyond agrifood, toward packaging, automotive, and aerospace fields.
