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

We experimentally demonstrate boiling suppression in a water film confined within superhydrophilic hierarchical nano/microstructured surfaces, enabling intense interfacial steam generation without bubble formation at the boiling point. Leveraging this phenomenon, we develop a high-temperature dew point evaporative cooler capable of reducing hot airflow from 437 °C to below ambient temperature. The cooler also performs effectively below the boiling point, lowering inlet air from 43 °C to 16.7 °C. These findings open pathways for potential practical applications of dew point evaporative cooling in power generation, internal combustion engines, and generative AI systems.
