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

Directional thermal management is critical for energy harvesting and utilization. The common passive radiative cooling and heating strategies free of electricity input mainly focus on regulating the solar and thermal radiation properties of materials while neglecting the thermal conduction process. The directional thermal management for harvesting thermal energy based on the rare thermal rectifying materials is usually in the absence of radiation regulation. Here, the dual Janus foams with dual asymmetries in photothermal and thermal rectification are designed and exhibit high photothermal property contrast and excellent thermal rectification ratios (122 %). The temperature difference ratio of the managed end could be improved nearly 21 times from 3 % based on a single Janus structure to 65 % based on a dual Janus structure. This method provides a comprehensive and inspiring view for better directional thermal management in the future.
