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

Building energy consumption accounts for 20%-40% of global energy usage, with windows among the least energy-efficient components. For this issue, thermochromic smart windows have emerged as a cost-effective, stimuli-responsive approach to enhance building energy performance. However, achieving long-term improvements in the indoor lighting environment remains a significant challenge for this technology. In this work, we developed a dual-responsive hydrogel that combines photochromic and thermochromic functionalities, exhibiting excellent shrinkage resistance, tunable spectral characteristics, and robust color-changing behavior. By integrating these hydrogels with solar selective and indium tin oxide films, we designed a tri-band regulation smart window featuring asymmetric mid-infrared emissivity, capable of simultaneously managing visible and near-infrared light to effectively reduce indoor heat gain and loss. The resulting smart window demonstrated superior spectral performance, with a solar modulation rate (ΔT
