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

Hydrogel-based evaporators offer unique advantages for seawater desalination, yet the high verticalization of water transport channels remains significantly constrained by the random arrangement of polymers. Herein, a versatile and scalable "wet-spinning hydrogel fibers assisted with constrained alignment (HFCA)" strategy is proposed to fabricate hierarchically porous hydrogel fiber evaporator, achieving the perfectly vertical, large-scale spaces between adjacent fibers and small-scale pores within the hydrogel itself. The synergistic role of multiscale pores significantly enhances the siphon effect between fibers and the water transport capacity, while improving thermal localization, light absorption, and salt flux. Moreover, rather than employing the popular "heat isolation model", a dual "heat supply/insulation model" is introduced for the first time in a three-dimensional evaporator, where a novel heating layer providing additional heat to the bulk water, along with an insulation layer minimizing heat loss. Together, these components create a positive net energy balance, transforming the single cold into a combined cold/hot evaporation manner on the side surface. Using this model, the HFCA evaporator exhibits the high evaporation rate (8.09 kg m
