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

Asymmetrical pleated textile with unidirectional water transport plays a vital role in maintaining personal moisture and thermal comfort. Inspired by the cactus branch, in this work, an asymmetrical pleated structure textile embedded with a unidirectional water transport channel was proposed by seamless weft knitting technology. This innovative textile with differential capillary effect can swiftly transport water within 1 s, with an accumulative one-way transport index (AOTI) of 499.57%. This textile also exhibits excellent external water repellency with a stable contact angle exceeding 120°. Most importantly, water repellency, water collection, and directional water transport ability are integrated into one unified system by means of the asymmetrical pleated structure, thereby ensuring both safety and comfort for the wearer. The advanced fabrics meet high transmission indexes and fast transport rates, which are expected to provide a fresh avenue for the development and creation of more efficient and adaptive personal moisture and thermal management fabrics.
