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

Camouflage is essential in modern security and military operations, playing a critical role in evading detection and enhancing the survivability of equipment. However, most existing camouflage devices operate in a single dimension, rendering them inadequate against emerging multi-dimensional detection techniques, including visible to near-infrared (VIS-NIR) hyperspectral imaging and mid-infrared (MIR) polarization imaging. In this work, we propose a multi-dimensional camouflage strategy that realizes simultaneous VIS-NIR spectrum camouflage, MIR intensity, and polarization camouflage by a hierarchical structure. The multi-dimensional camouflage device exhibits an emissivity of 0.7, a low degree of linear polarization (< 1.5%) at large observation angles in MIR range, and high spectral similarity (>96.9%) in the VIS-NIR range. Moreover, it deceives hyperspectral classification in vegetative background and blends into its environment under MIR intensity and polarization imaging. This work introduces a novel paradigm for multi-dimensional camouflage techniques and opens up new avenues for electromagnetic waves manipulation.
