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

In addition to the well-documented resource efficiency and geometrical freedom, Digital Fabrication (DFAB) revolutionizes architecture by integrating functionalities into building elements, unlocking untapped potential from the micro- to the macroscales. This study uses binder-jet printed sand for a DFAB prototype-Fireplace2-tailored for indoor heating. Named after its traditional counterpart, Fireplace2 showcases DFAB's prowess in crafting precise microclimates for heightened thermal comfort. Our research, tuning mechanical and thermal properties across micro and meso scales, illustrates DFAB's utility in architects' hands for crafting tailored microclimates. This approach manipulates the effective thermal conductivity and macroscale topology for stability against toppling (0.8 kN). A vertical infill porosity gradient establishes a surface temperature gradient, countering ventilation-induced thermal gradients. With a minimal operational temperature vertical gradient (+0.2°C), complying with international comfort standards (Predicted Mean Vote -0.23, People Dissatisfied 6%), Fireplace2 stands testament to DFAB's microclimate-shaping capabilities despite challenges like foot-level ventilation. The study propels DFAB into a sustainable paradigm, aligning occupant comfort with environmental consciousness, thereby fostering more efficient and enjoyable indoor spaces.
