Wearable solar fluidic system.
Article in Science advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Plants' transpiration, driven by solar energy to flow water and ions, provides an inspiring blueprint for self-powered systems that will revolutionize our interaction with environment and sustain human life. However, mimicking plant transpiration and osmosis in artificial materials remains a major challenge. Here, we present a wearable solar fluidic system that harnesses human sweat to enable self-sufficient freshwater production, energy supply, and information exchange. By designing a photothermal fabric that can generate a temperature gradient between skin and environment, sweat evaporation and ion flow can drive to provide sustained electrical power without external energy input. In outdoor wearing tests, these fluidic fabrics can produce fresh water of 24.2 liters per kilogram and deliver 8.50 volts of power, ultimately powering a Mars rover wirelessly. Our approach provides an emerging pathway toward self-sufficient, portable ecosystems capable of sustaining human life and communication, with the potential to advance wearable technology, fluid engineering, and human exploration.
