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

Various outdoor scenarios demand both temperature control and self-protection from environment, which are often contradictory from the optical perspective, thus inspiring many material designs on multispectral camouflage and radiative cooling performance. However, these methods on the basis of one-dimensional photonic crystals or meta-surfaces always rely on stringent fabrication and may result in strong angular dependence. Here, we demonstrate an aluminum-polyamide 66 metal-based polymer bilayer thin film through hierarchical design at both the molecular and microscale levels and scalable production, enabling camouflage in infrared (3-5 μm and 8-14 μm) and laser (10.6 μm) bands with efficient radiative cooling in the non-atmospheric window (5-8 μm and 14-20 μm) while possessing weak angular dependence between -60° to 60°. Furthermore, our films can be tailored with specific emissivity and color to balance camouflage and cooling across diverse environments. This work provides a scalable, low-cost radiative cooling polymer film, advancing practical solutions for multispectral camouflage.
