Promising Radiative Cooling Materials and Their Application in Construction and Building.
Review in Polymers, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Radiative cooling technology, which leverages the emission of long-wave infrared radiation to deep space, offers a promising passive cooling solution that can reduce the energy consumption associated with conventional air conditioning systems. This technology is particularly relevant in tropical and subtropical regions, where buildings are exposed to high levels of solar radiation and excessive heat. Passive radiative cooling materials, such as petroleum-, inorganic- and cellulose-based materials, have shown significant potential in reducing building temperatures (more than 8 °C at daytime and 10 °C at nighttime) and enhancing energy efficiency by weakening the utilization of air conditioning. This review explores the development of promising radiative cooling materials, focusing on their raw materials, manufacturing, and key distinction (such as high solar reflectivity of >90% and middle-infrared band light emissivity of >0.9) for radiative cooling. Further, the progressive application of radiative cooling material in building and construction is significantly discussed, focusing on the cooling performance, mechanical properties, hydrophobicity and long-term stability. Lastly, future directions for advancing radiative cooling materials for building applications are presented, emphasizing the importance of integrating sustainability, up-scale manufacturing, and low cost with high thermal management performance.
