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

Thermochromic smart windows offer an efficient solution to reduce building energy consumption by regulating solar radiation without external energy input. However, conventional thermochromic windows often struggle to achieve high luminous transmittance (>70%), strong solar modulation, and an optimal transition temperature (30-40 °C) simultaneously. Here, we present a hydrated ionic polymer thermochromic smart window, which transitions between transparent and blue states through temperature-induced hydration and dehydration. Notably, the smart windows exhibit significant solar modulation (ΔT
