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

Thermal regulation in warm clothing is essential for enhancing human comfort in cold environments. However, traditional warm clothing lacks the ability to adapt to dynamic changes in the human body's microenvironment. Here, we present an adaptive warm cloth, featuring a filling made of a natural bacterial cellulose membrane that responds to human sweating. The cloth's thickness automatically adjusts from 13 millimeters (under low humidity and no sweating conditions) to 2 millimeters (under high humidity and sweating conditions), expanding the thermal regulation capability by 82.8% compared to traditional warm clothing with an unchanged thickness of 13 millimeters. Modeling results further suggest that deploying this adaptive warm clothing across 20 cities in China could extend the duration of the no thermal stress zone by an average of 7.5 hours. Combining exceptional thermal regulation, high stability, and scalability, this clothing represents a notable supplement to existing thermal management technologies.
