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

Ensuring freshwater resources is a vital issue for human beings worldwide. Fog harvesting is one promising way to provide water from unconventional sources. However, clogging by the captured liquid depresses the fog harvesting performance. Here, a harp-shaped Janus harvesting system, which has thin wires with a superhydrophobic side facing the fog stream and a superhydrophilic back side to transport the droplets, is used to yield simultaneous fog capturing and water transport abilities. Attached droplets on the Janus wire transported along the periphery avoided clogging and enhanced the performance. The Janus system thus suppressed the increase and fluctuations of actual shade coefficients, which indicated blockage of the fog stream. This optimized the design of the harvester. Experiments using a multilayered Janus harvester demonstrated a significant enhancement compared with that constructed with mono-wettability wires. Overall, the results indicated the promise of droplet transportation on single wires for improving fog harvesting, as well as for other applications such as oil mist recovery and demulsification.
