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

Integrated solar-driven vapor generation and thermoelectric power generation have been considered a promising solution to alleviate the global freshwater shortage and energy crisis. However, the long-standing trade-off between high-speed water evaporation and efficient thermoelectric generation remains a challenge. In this study, a yolk@shell structured photothermal evaporator (denoted as HSS@MNPs) composed of super-elastic hydrophobic silicone sponge, super-hydrophilic epoxy resin and photothermal melanin nanoparticles was prepared via simple sol-gel and spray coating methods. The results show that various waste liquids can be effectively purified, and a series of experiments and analyses demonstrate that the height of the HSS@MNPs and the position of the thermoelectric (TE) module within the photothermal structure affect its water evaporation and thermoelectric performance. By taking advantage of the unique yolk@shell structure of HSS@MNPs, the position of the TE module can be optimized without destroying the self-floating property, thermal insulation, photothermal property, and water transmission performance of the evaporator. This results in efficient and stable evaporation (3.08-3.17 kg m
